YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK, Wyo. — Fire danger in Yellowstone National Park jumped to “very high” today.
There have been three wildland fires in the park this year, and all have been declared out or controlled.
Currently, there are no fire restrictions in place or planned in the park.
Campfires are still allowed in designated fire rings in frontcountry developed campgrounds and day-use picnic areas. All campfires must be cold to the touch before abandoning.
Recently in the U.S. West, three new large fires were reported, two in Idaho and one in Montana. Currently, more than 13,000 wildland firefighters and support personnel are assigned to incidents across the country.
