: About how muuch money is spent on fighting fires annualy, in the nation? How much of that is in the Yellowstone area?
Thanks for your question about fires, Jelica.
I checked out the National Interagency Fire Center website to search for answers to your questions, and I learned that in 2001, $542 million was spent on firefighting efforts in the U.S. There was no breakdown for the amount spent on firefighting in Yellowstone in 2001.
