Like most Sami villages, Kilpisjärvi is built mainly around one major road, ''Käsivarrentie'', or the "Arm Road" and ''Neljäntuulentie'', or the "Four Winds' Road" — also known as E8. Near the Kilpisjärvi is the highest point of Finnish road network, at altitude of 565,8 m.〔http://www.outdoors.fi/en/kasivarsi/sights〕 Kilpisjärvi has its own school and a hotel, and the northernmost research station of the University of Helsinki is situated there, as well as the KAIRA research facility.

It had been occupied by travellers at the time. The fire started from a recreational vehicle parked next to the building.〔Vatanen, Panu: ''(Kilpisjärven koulu paloi kivijalkaan saakka )'', Ylen uutiset 3 May 2015. Accessed on 3 May 2015.〕 The fire destroyed thousands of euros worth of euro banknotes that had been stored at the school. The money had been collected as donations to fund a study trip for the school's pupils, but had been stored at the school because the school staff had been unable to find a bank office capable of depositing the money to the school's bank account. The nearest office of Nordea, where the school had an account, capable of depositing cash was in Rovaniemi, 440 km away from Kilpisjärvi. Nordea has pledged to donate 4000 euros to the school as reimbursement for the lost money.〔Halminen, Laura: ''(Lappilaiskoululaisten leirikoulurahat paloivat pitkien talletusmatkojen takia – Nordea lupaa korvata tuhannet eurot )'', ''Helsingin Sanomat'' online edition 5 May 2015.
