ZION NAT'L PARK, Utah (ABC4) -- Zion National Park has rescinded Stage 2 fire restrictions after heavy rain recently hit the state, reducing fire danger. The park has resumed its year-round fire restrictions, which are always in effect.

On Friday morning, Aug. 29, Zion National Park rescinded Stage 2 fire restrictions, which called for no open fires of any kind. The decision comes after the rescission of Stage 2 fire restrictions across the state of Utah, where all state and private unincorporated lands shifted to Stage 1 restrictions on Thursday, Aug. 28.

"Recent rains have reduced fire danger in many locations across the state, and with the lessened fire danger, park managers reduced fire restrictions ahead of the holiday weekend," a press release from Zion National Park states.
