Fire danger in the greater Teton Interagency Fire region has dropped from very high, to high now despite most of the state remaining at the higher rating. Bridger-Teton National Forest, Grand Teton National Park, and the National Elk Refuge recently received some monsoon moisture helping the fire danger to decrease to high.
The area continues to be in moderate to severe drought conditions with temperature and precipitation outlooks for drier and warmer than normal conditions through the remainder of the summer.
Analyses and outlooks indicate significant wildland fire potential exists through September in the greater Teton Interagency Dispatch area.
Visitors to public lands are reminded that fire restrictions are in place and responsible behavior with the use of fire is critically important through August and September.
