The Wildland Fire Program has two goals:
1. To suppress wildfires that are human-caused or that threaten people, property or resource values.
2. To ensure that naturally ignited wildland fires may burn freely as an ecosystem process.
Achievement of these goals involves maintaining fire readiness, reducing hazardous fuel loads, monitoring natural ignitions, and researching the effects of fire on Yellowstone's ecosystems.
To accomplish these tasks the Wildland Fire Program has several crews:
Helitack,
Suppression,
Fire Monitors, and
Fire Effects. In these web pages you will find information on the various parts of our program. Additionally we offer a current wildland
Fire Report, information on
Fire Ecology, the techniques of
Prescribed Fire and
Fire Suppression, and
References and Links to wildland fire information.
The
Teton Fire page provides additional info about other fires burning in the Greater Yellowstone Basin.
