Fire News

Fire is a natural and essential part of Yosemite. We manage fire carefully and study how it interacts with the park’s ecosystems, and suppress fires that are human caused or threaten people or property. This blog provides updates about fires in Yosemite.

You can also find fire updates at:

• Yosemite fire map
• InciWeb (focuses on fires on federal public land, including significant fires in Yosemite)
• Cal Fire (for fires in state responsibility areas)

Check for current fire restrictions and learn more about fire management in Yosemite.
