As of today, the Natrona County Comissioners have put Stage One Fire Restrictions in place. This due to increasingly warm temperatures, dry fuels, and Wyoming's famous wind.

This is not a Fire Ban. This Fire Restriction will remain in effect until further notice. All burn permits are suspended, and no new burn permits will be issued until the restrictions are lifted.

Stage One Fire Restriction Exemptions:

  • Only campfires at residences or campsites within a fire ring centered within a minimum of a 15 ft. cleared radius of burnable materials are permitted
  • Trash or refuse burned between the hours of 6 pm and 8 am inside containers equipped with spark arresters that are located within a cleared radius of a minimum of 15 ft. of burnable materials
  • Charcoal fires within enclosed grills are permitted
  • Use of acetylene cutting, electric arc welders, or metal grinding in a cleared radium of a minimum of 15 ft. of burnable materials is permitted
  • The use of portable stoves, lanterns using gas, jellied petroleum, pressurized liquid fuel or fully enclosed (sheepherder type) stove and open fire branding activities in a cleared radium of 15 ft. is permitted
