Information was not found in the literature regarding direct effects of fire on mountain lions.
Kittens are probably most vulnerable to fire.
The activities of eight radio-tagged mountain lions were monitored during and after the 1988 fire season in Yellowstone National Park. Preferred forage for deer is generally more productive and easily accessible following fire. Frequent fire over large areas maintains many stands in a successional stage favorable to deer. This increase may have been related to an increase in mule deer populations. Mountain lions may change their home range in response to fire.
