The Yellowstone fires: A primer on the 1988 fire season
National Park Service. 1988. The Yellowstone fires: A primer on the 1988 fire season. Mammoth, WY
The Greater Yellowstone Area fires of 1988 have received more national attention than any other event in the history of the parks, and are already being described as the cause of the largest fire suppression efforts ever undertaken in this country. The fires have provided compelling evidence of the power of nature, and have generated renewed interest in the parks and their management. Fighting the fires has required all of the attention of the concerned agencies, so that no comprehensive overview of the whole fire story has been possible. This summary has been prepared for use until more complete reports are available.
