A wildfire is burning on the eastern edge of Yellowstone National Park, near its border with the Shoshone National Forest.

Mapped at 29 acres as of Tuesday, smoke from the Pollux Fire may be visible in the Sunlight Basin and Crandall areas. However, park officials said the remote wildfire does not pose an immediate threat to established trails, backcountry campsites or patrol cabins. A patrol cabin is located about 4 miles northeast of the fire.

Personnel at Yellowstone’s Mount Washburn fire lookout detected the blaze on Saturday evening and Shoshone fire staff located it near Pollux Peak during a Sunday morning reconnaissance flight.

Park officials believe lightning started the fire, as the area received substantial lightning over the past two weeks.

Fire managers said they intend to monitor the Pollux Fire and prepare long-term management plans that address firefighter and public safety and the protection of structures and natural and cultural resources;

“The Greater Yellowstone area is a fire-adapted ecosystem,” the Park Service added in the news release. “Fire plays an important role in maintaining the health of this area’s wildlife habitat and vegetation.”
