YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (KIFI) - The parkwide fire danger level for Yellowstone is now very high.

There have been three wildland fires in the park this year, and all have been declared out or controlled. Stay informed about current fire activity in Yellowstone.

Currently, there are no 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.
