FIRE SAFETY AND PREVENTION

Wildfire danger poses a genuine threat to the West, including Big Sky. Our community's safety relies on everyone doing their part to prevent fires. Adhering to these guidelines can help preserve our breathtaking landscape and ensure a safe experience for all.

It's also important for our visitors to be aware of what actions to take in the event of a fire emergency. Visit the Big Sky Wildfire Hub before your trip to view the fire danger rating and register for safety alerts and notifications in the area.

Join us in preventing wildfires by using the following tips:

Respect fire danger signs, bans, and permit requirements. Check local fire regulations before starting a fire.

Do not leave a fire unattended. Ensure a fire is completely out before leaving. Drown. Stir. Drown. Feel.

Be mindful of the weather. Watch wind patterns. Completely drown out a fire in heavy winds.

Follow all regulations with fireworks. National forests do not allow fireworks. Fire restrictions also prohibit fireworks.

Alert authorities of any smoke you see in the area.

Keep your fire in designated fire rings.

Do not bring firewood from home or other forests. Buy firewood where you plan to burn it or gather on-site where permitted.
