Fire restrictions in the Shoshone National Forest bordering Yellowstone National Park have been lifted. (Ruffin Prevost\/Yellowstone Gate file photo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

CODY, WYO. \u2014 Restrictions on campfires and the use of fire in the Shoshone National Forest imposed a month ago have been lifted, as a wildland fire burning near the East Entrance to Yellowstone National Park is contained and dying down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Wapiti, Clarks Fork and Greybull Ranger Districts of the Shoshone National Forest have removed Stage 1 fires restrictions according to a statement released by the agency’s public affairs office. Fire Mangers feel that critical fire danger is likely over for this summer, although the advised continuing caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though conditions have moderated with cooler temperatures and widespread moisture, fire danger persists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Clearwater Fire on the Wapiti Ranger District of the Shoshone National Forest remains at 1,966 acres with 91% containment. The fire has been downgraded to a type-4 incident and fire management has been transferred back to local leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firefighters have been busy repairing some of the disturbance caused by suppression efforts, along with removing hazards around the Elk Fork campground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forest managers have lifted all closures associated with the Clearwater Fire, but advise caution, particularly around dead standing trees where ground vegetation has burned away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
