Recent precipitation in the Lake Clark National Park and Preserve area has moderated fire danger enough that park officials are lifting the fire advisory.
While campfires are allowed in the park and preserve, visitors should minimize impact using existing campfire rings or building their campfires on beaches or gravel bars where water and ice will wash evidence away. Always ensure fires are cold to the touch before leaving them.
Conditions can change rapidly, so wildland fire managers ask visitors and residents to stay informed of fire danger and conditions. We all have a hand in a safe fire season.
