Yellowstone Park Declares Very High Fire Danger, New Restrictions

July 26, 2024 by Jackson Hole Radio

Yellowstone National Park has declared a very high fire danger level and will implement Stage 1 fire restrictions starting Saturday, July 27. This action comes as wildfire activity has increased, with crews responding to and controlling four lightning-caused fires in the past week.

Fire Restrictions

Backcountry and Trails:

  • Prohibited: Charcoal and all campfires, including those in established fire rings.
  • Permitted: Smoking is allowed only in areas adjacent to the provided fire ring in designated campsites or within a 3-foot-diameter area barren of all flammable material. Ensure all cigarette butts are extinguished properly.
  • Permitted: Portable gas stoves and lanterns are allowed in areas that are barren or cleared of all overhead and surrounding flammable materials within 3 feet.

Frontcountry and Developed Areas:

  • Permitted: Campfires are allowed in designated fire rings in frontcountry developed campgrounds (Madison, Mammoth, Slough Creek, Canyon, Indian Creek, Lewis Lake, Grant Village, and Bridge Bay) and day-use picnic areas. All campfires must be attended and cold to the touch before abandoning. Use the soak, stir, feel, and repeat method to ensure fires are fully extinguished.

Visitors are urged to be vigilant about fire safety. Negligently starting a wildland fire can result in fines and/or imprisonment. Fireworks are strictly prohibited in the park.

For updates on current fire activity in Yellowstone, stay informed through official park channels.
