: How many wildfires have occured in Yellowstone since 1980?
Thanks for your question, Bobby. Between 1972 and 1987, 234 fires burned over nearly 35,000 acres-most in two dry years, 1979 and 1981. Between 1988 and 2000, there were a total of 267 fires that were suppressed and an additional 82 prescription fires.
