The BLM Western Zone Fire Program managers would like to clarify the fire restrictions currently in effect troughout southwest Wyoming. “A recent news article may have given some people the impression that the BLM approves the use of fireworks on public land. We would like the public to understand that the use of fireworks is prohibited on public land year-round, “said Richard Putnam, acting fire operations supervisor for the BLM’s Western Wyoming Zone.
“We would like to remind everyone of the existing fire restrictions recently implemented in Sweetwater, Sublette, Uinta and Lincoln Counties. These restrictions below help illustrate the need for the public to help us keep public lands safe and enjoyable for everyone,” Putnam added.
