Currently, there are no uncontrolled wildland fires 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.
Stay informed about current fire activity in Yellowstone.
Also, stage 1 fire restrictions have been lifted lifted for the Teton Interagency area:
Teton Interagency Fire managers have lifted Stage 1 fire restrictions for Grand Teton National Park, the Bridger-Teton National Forest, and the National Elk Refuge. Recent precipitation, cooler temperatures, and higher relative humidities have lessened the threat of wildfire. However, all public land users, and particularly campers and hunters, are advised to remain vigilant and use caution when building and maintaining a campfire to prevent unwanted human-caused fires.
