Actually, this fire was not anthropogenic, it did not however, occur because someone threw a book of matches. Wildfires occur in this area since the 1700's, partly due to the lodgepole pine's seeds needing extreme heat to be released. Wildfires are partly how lodgepole forests continue. The start of the fire is most likely credited to large amounts highly flammable decaying material on the ground, and a dry summer with high winds.

go to the black hills of south dakota and you'll see the same thing there. I was talking toa park ranger about it and he said that, " it was caused by a woman throwing a book of matches into the hillside and she is currently in prison" that was the wildfire in south dakota of course. That was very sad to see in both Yellowstone and the black hills as miles and miles of nothing but burned up trees were still standing :(

I saw this in school on Friday, and I wanted to see some more snippets from it to reference to my writing. Thank-you, five stars and added to my favorites. This made my writing much easier, and I am thankful that you took the time to upload this onto YouTube.
