YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — Fire danger in Yellowstone National Park has decreased from “high” to “moderate.”
Currently, there are no fires or fire restrictions in place or planned in the park.
Campfires are only permitted within established fire rings in campgrounds and some backcountry campsites. Campfires must always be attended and cold to the touch before abandoning. Soak, stir, feel, repeat.
The Greater Yellowstone area is a fire-adapted ecosystem. Fire plays an important role in maintaining the health of this area’s wildlife habitat and vegetation, says the park.
The public can stay informed about current fire activity in Yellowstone here.
