Fire danger remains high throughout Wyoming due to hot, dry temperatures. To help protect wildlife habitat and other public lands, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department has implemented fire restrictions on many department-managed properties where people camp and recreate.
Anyone planning a trip to a wildlife habitat management area or public access area can check a comprehensive listing of fire restrictions on the Game and Fish fire ban webpage.
Restrictions are updated automatically as soon as they are set in place. Adhering to fire restrictions is one of the ways the public can help prevent wildfires, which in dry years can be catastrophic.
Game and Fish’s Ray Bredehoft, chief of the Habitat and Access Branch, says the mid-summer hot and dry climate increases the possibilities of fires caused by campfires, not only at wildlife habitat management areas and public access areas but on all lands open to the public in the state.
Campfires, stoves and other incendiary camping supplies are permitted as long as there are no restrictions, or a fire ban is in place.
