The Sublette County Unified Fire Department was dispatched to a controlled burn Tuesday afternoon in a hay meadow in Boulder, that became uncontrolled. Fortunately, a quick response by the homeowner and units from Sublette County Unified Fire kept the fire from involving nearby structures. What began as burning out an irrigation ditch became a wind driven fire that covered nearly 50 acres of meadow before being stopped. Even with snow still in parts of the meadow and frost still in ground near the fence lines, the fire progressed rapidly in the dry fuels, driven by continuous winds. County officials have noted that with the weather warming up and folks getting ready for summer, people are beginning to clean up yards and fields. Sublette County reminds residents to take basic precautions before starting any open burning.
