Community partnerships in action to help mitigate wildfire risk in Teton Valley!

Challenging wildfire seasons are prompting communities to come up with innovative solutions. 💡 🔥 🤝

In Eastern Idaho’s Teton County, community members have raised funds to hire a new position at the local fire department. The role, which is also being funded in part by The Nature Conservancy and Idaho's Teton County Fire & Rescue, will lead projects designed to reduce excess small trees, shrubs, grasses, needles and other debris that could fuel future severe fires.

It’s not just about emergencies for TCFR. Sometimes it’s about doing what’s right and answering the call. This evening, this little feline was missing from her home causing concern for her humans…we’re happy we could help get her home, unharmed. Thanks to Downtown Nate Brown for putting it on the line!😁

There were early signs that this fire season could be a big one, especially the record-low snowpack last winter. In Teton County — near the Grand Targhee Resort — that spurred interest in a novel effort: raising money to help hire a local wildfire mitigation coordinator.

Effective August 29, 2026, burn permits are available and can be activated in Teton County.

This Summer, Teton County entered and remained in the Extreme Drought category and firefighting resources in our region have been stretched thin. TCFR has responded to 38 outdoor fires and has had 12 Red Flag Warnings for critical fire weather.

We will monitor conditions on a day to day basis and adjust accordingly.

We want to thank our citizens for their patience as we navigate this fire season.

Good morning! Today and tomorrow, TCFR will be out and about the community staged at the schools. We want to say Hi to students, wave to our parents and urge safe driving around our schools.
