Fire crews have found a new blaze that's burning in the backcountry of Yellowstone National Park.
The Lookout Fire is located about 1.5 miles southwest of Heart Lake and the lightning sparked blaze was discovered Sunday afternoon.
Fire officials say so far it's burned about half an acre and will be actively managed as a wildland fire since it doesn't pose a threat to people or property.
