Smokey the Bear is a cartoon character they made to get people to prevent forest fires. he has become an American icon and expertly coined the phrase ...
"Only YOU can prevent forest fires."
which became a hit in all schools across America.
what actually happened was there was a massive forest fire and when it was put out they found a cub lost from his mother. he became Smokey the Bear.

If you mean Bear, He is a bear that detects fires." Somkey the bear,Smokey the bear, prowling and a growling and sniff the air. He can spot a fire before it starts to flame. That is why we call him Smokey, that is how he got his name."
