partial fire ban

The Wyoming Game and Fish Department is implementing a partial fire ban on Game and Fish Commission-owned and managed lands within Platte County, effective immediately.

Campfires are prohibited under the ban, but the use of self-standing grills is still permitted.

Under a partial ban, it's okay to have contained campfires and grill out.

The ban took effect today at 8 a.m.

Extreme fire danger has prompted Wyoming Game and Fish officials to implement a partial fire ban on commission-owned lands within Goshen County.

Recent wet weather has dampened the fire danger, at least for now.

Extreme fire danger has prompted the Laramie County Commissioners to impose a partial fire ban.

After nearly a month of harsh fire restrictions, Laramie County residents can now grill out and burn their trash.

A 700 acre grass fire that threatened homes and ranches in the Old Yellowstone Road area of Laramie County Saturday shows how serious the fire danger in the county is right now, according to Laramie County Fire District 2 spokesman Lew Simpson.
