Reporting a Fire
Spot smoke or flames on the Forest? Don't wait! To report a wildfire on the Fishlake National Forest, call the Richfield Interagency Fire Center (435) 896-8404, or dial 911.
Consider these questions to provide helpful information when reporting a fire:
- Where is the fire located?
- What is the estimated fire size?
- What time were the flames or smoke spotted
- What color is the smoke? (i.e. light, dark, heavy)
- What type of fuels are burning? (i.e. grass, brush, timber)
Finding Current Fire Information
When wildfires start, or if there is an active incident happening on the Fishlake National Forest, our Public Information Officers (PIO's) work to notify the public as soon as possible. This is initially done via the Fishlake Facebook page and Fishlake X (formerly Twitter) online accounts.
As incidents evolve, alerts and information regarding closures, fire updates, and other related notifications will be posted to our social media accounts, as well as the Alerts & Fire Danger tab at the top of this page.
