With Labor Day weekend here, many people will be heading outside to enjoy the last holiday of the summer. The weather report for the weekend calls for more hot, dry, and breezy afternoons. Western Wyoming federal, state, and county fire managers are meeting weekly to discuss fire conditions, review staffing levels, and review the need for additional fire restrictions. Based on current conditions, it has been decided that no additional fire restrictions will be placed on western Wyoming county and federal lands for the coming weekend. Conditions do, however, warrant extra caution. While no fire restrictions are currently in place, land managers ask that recreationist consider following restriction guidelines anyway. Stage I fire restrictions prohibit people from building campfires outside of developed recreation sites, smoking outside of an enclosed vehicle or 3′ x 3′ area cleared of flammable materials, and operating engines without spark arrestors. Additionally, please use caution driving or parking on dry grasses, operating and refueling chainsaws, and shooting. If you choose to have a fire, all campfires and warming fires must be completely extinguished. Stir ashes and coals with plenty of water until no heat remains. To date, there have been 119 campfires left burning in the Teton Interagency Dispatch Area.
