Fire restrictions at Zion National Park are being lifted ahead of the Labor Day weekend because all the recent rainfall and improved fire conditions.
SPRINGDALE, Washington County — Fire restrictions at Zion National Park are being lifted ahead of the Labor Day weekend because all the recent rainfall and improved fire conditions, park officials said Tuesday.
Lyndsay Fonger, Zion National Park's fire management officer, said this month's monsoonal storms have improved plant conditions and reduced fire danger; however, she cautions that people should still be careful when visiting the park. Southwestern Utah has received plenty of precipitation in recent weeks. Data from National Weather Service stations positioned in cities surrounding the park show that the region received rain totals that are well above normal for August. For example, Kanab's 2.21 inches of precipitation is nearly a full inch above its listed normal.
