Wildfire

WYDOT did not have an estimated time for the highway to reopen.

Burn permits in Natrona County have been suspended.

These fire restrictions are in addition to the year-round wildfire prevention restrictions on BLM-administered public lands.

Preventable wildfires threaten lives, property and resources.

No fireworks of any kind may be used within Mills town limits.

Private contractors were repairing the fire lines Tuesday.

That mix of conditions will be conducive to new fire starts and extreme fire behavior, according to the National Weather Service in Riverton.

The warning is in effect from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m. Tuesday.

No injuries have been reported in connection with the blaze.

Sunday's forecast calls for strong winds.
