Shortly after midnight Friday, Zion National Park rescinded Stage 2 fire restrictions and resumed its year-round fire restrictions, which are always in effect across the park to protect visitors, resources and surrounding communities.
Recent rains have reduced fire danger in many locations across the state, and with the lessened fire danger, park managers reduced fire restrictions ahead of the holiday weekend, according to a press release from the National Park Service. This follows the rescission of Stage 2 fire restrictions across the state of Utah, where all state and private unincorporated lands shifted to Stage 1 restrictions, beginning at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 28.
