In the mid 1900's, they came up with an ad campaign and a tv commercial to bring awareness of the cause of forrest fires, and the serious harm and damage they cause. Most forrest fires are caused by people being careless, either by tossing out lit cigarette butts or by not putting camp fires out all the way before leaving the camp site. And since bears live in the forrests, they used a bear as the 'mascot'. And since it was to prevent fires, which also have a lot of smoke, they named it "Smokey Bear", because it was a character which people, both children and adults, could easily remember.
