The fire warning sign was chiseled into a block of sandstone in 1938. It measures eight feet tall by six feet wide. The message delivered by the sign aligns well with the CCCs mission of preserving natural beauty for future generations and encouraging responsible stewardship. Curiously, it appears that the creator(s) made a mistake while making the sign, as the backside also displays the start of the message found on the front. Other than erosion from natural forces, the sign remains exactly as it was when it was first created.
