The Park’s news service has reported today a new fire in the Park -

The Lookout Fire is located about a mile and a half southwest of Heart Lake. The lightning-caused fire was discovered Sunday afternoon. It is about a half-acre in size. This fire will be actively managed as a Wildland Fire Used for Resource Benefit, since it poses no threat to people or property.

Given the warmer weather we’re due this week (see the previous post), fire risk goes back up - and you’re going to see more smoke and fire activity from the other larger fires burning in the Park.
