The Strawberry Fire was a wildfire, that burned in the northern Great Basin National Park in White Pine County, Nevada in August 2016.

It burned 4,714 acres (1,908 ha) of land, of which sixty percent is part of Great Basin National Park.

[4] Subsequently, the fire grew quickly, and started to fill the canyon, as the temperatures were high, and the wind was strong.

In the meantime, the number of personnel on the incident had reached a maximum of 529 on August 15, when the Strawberry Fire was 76% contained.

[14] Because of the wildfire, the Wheeler Peak Scenic Drive was closed after the Lower Lehman Creek Campground.

[6] Some fish were killed directly by the heat and the debris of the fire, but most damage was done by the destruction of the vegetation on the banks of the creek.

[6] The Bonneville cutthroat trout was reintroduced to the national park fourteen years before the Strawberry Fire, in 2002.

[3] On August 16 and 17, while the wildfire was still burning, the Snake Creek was renovated in order to restore the habitat of the fish.

The renovation was executed by the Great Basin National Park, the Nevada Division of Wildlife, and the Bureau of Land Management as was agreed upon in a 2006 conservation agreement.
