While the rain over the weekend has lowered danger from fires, patrollers in the forest continue to find campfires that have not been completely extinguished, meaning that people are still leaving fires unattended in these hot, dry, windy conditions. In the past week, 4 new human-caused wildfires required response in the Teton Interagency Dispatch area, including the Saddle Butte Fire immediately adjacent Jackson.
Cooler and wetter weather conditions this week has led to the reevaluation of the need for fire restrictions. Fire danger is currently rated high in most areas west of the continental divide in Wyoming, and is very high in the area encompassing the Wyoming and Salt River ranges. While fire restrictions are not in effect for most of western Wyoming, partial restrictions have been in effect for Teton County.
