Cygnet fire

Dry conditions are helping to keep a handful of wildfires burning inside Yellowstone National Park.

Light to moderate smoke still hangs in the air over much of Yellowstone, though much of that smoke is from wildfires burning outside the park.

The biggest fire within Yellowstone is the more than four-square-mile Cygnet Fire five miles southwest of Canyon Village. Nine miles to the southeast of Canyon Village, the Dewdrop Fire has burned about two square miles.

Fire danger in Yellowstone continues to be classified as "extreme."
