🔥 Fire Danger is High in Riding Mountain National Park 🔥

Riding Mountain National Park is currently experiencing high fire danger conditions. While there are no fire bans in place at this time, we’re asking all visitors to take extra care to help prevent wildfires.

✅ Keep campfires in designated fire pits or approved appliances only
✅ Never leave your fire unattended
✅ When you’re done, soak, stir, and fully extinguish your fire

Small actions make a big difference in protecting our park, wildlife, and communities. Thank you for doing your part and staying fire smart. 💛🌲
