Smokey Bear (often called Smokey the Bear or simply Smokey) is a mascot of the United States Forest Service created to teach the public about the dangers of forest fires.  Smokey Bear’s slogan, “Remember… Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires”, was created in 1947. In April 2001, the message was updated to “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires”.  Smokey Bear and his message are recognized by 95% of adults and 77% of children in the U.S.  The Smokey Bear character was so popular that when a real bear was rescued from a forest fire, it achieved fame as a living version of the mascot.

The living symbol of Smokey Bear was an American black bear cub that was caught in the spring of 1950 in a huge wildfire in the state of New Mexico. He climbed a tree to escape the fire, but his paws and hind legs had been burned. A group of soldiers from Texas, who had come to help fight the fire, discovered the bear cub and brought him back to their camp.

At first the bear was called “Hotfoot Teddy,” but he was later renamed Smokey after the famous mascot. Some government workers helped Smokey until he became healthy again. Soon after, he became a celebrity.   Smokey was flown in an airplane to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. When he arrived at the National Zoo, several hundred people, including children and photographers welcomed him to his new home.

Smokey Bear lived at the National Zoo for 26 years. During that time he received millions of visitors as well as so many letters addressed to him (up to 13,000 a week) that the United States Postal Service finally gave him his own unique postal code.   His favorite food was peanut butter sandwiches, in addition to his daily diet of bluefish and trout.

Upon his death on November 9, 1976, Smokey was buried at what is now the Smokey Bear Historical Park.  The Washington Post, a national newspaper, printed an article about Smokey, which mentioned his family, including his wife, Goldie Bear, and son, Little Smokey.  Another national newspaper included an article about Smokey Bear on the front page on Nov 11, 1976.
