CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK — Cooler temperatures and recent rainfall has resulted in the fire danger level at Crater Lake National Park being reduced from extreme to high.

On Friday, Sept. 13, park officials rescinded the fire ban implemented on July 25. In a news release park officials noted that “to ensure public safety and to provide the highest degree of protection to park resources,” there are restrictions to apply to fires in the park. Among the restrictions are those involving campfires.
