Teton Interagency Fire

When the days become shorter and dawn air cooler, it’s nice to have a warming fire to help heat up a cup of hot drink and feel a fire's warmth. When these pleasant fires are left unattended, they can quickly turn into a wildfire as a fall afternoon heats up. Recreational fires are often responsible wildfires during the fall season within the Teton Fire management area. These fires are often built without a rock ring, surrounded by uncleared vegetation and then left to burn out before they are completely cold and dead out. Putting out a fire requires water, lots of water. Take time to prepare for your fall adventure and remember to dress for every and any type of weather condition. Check out this video to learn more about fall recreational fires. Stay safe to be safe!
