Fremont Fire Danger Very High

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is banning open fires on all Game and Fish Commission-owned and administered lands within the Lander Region. The fire danger rating in that area has been elevated now to “very high.” The effected lands include Red Canyon, Ocean Lake, Sand Mesa, Whiskey Basin, Inberg/Roy, Chain Lakes, Morgan Creek and Red-Rim Daley Wildlife Habitat Management Areas (WHMAs), and Spence and Moriarity Wildlife Management Area, as well as the several Public Access Areas including Little Middle and North Fork Popo Agie, Luckey Pond and all Wind River access areas near Dubois. Habitat and Access Supervisor Brian Parker said, “The effects of wildfire can conflict with the wildlife and wildlife habitat purposes of the Game and Fish Commission-owned lands.  Therefore, the Department has instituted the fire ban to follow suite with current Fremont County fire bans.”
