BLM To Conduct Prescribed Burns

If you hadn't noticed, the Bureau of Land Management is starting to conduct prescribed fires with the Rawlings and Rocks Springs field office areas. About 500 acres were burned on Monday at Morgan Creek, an area 25 miles south of Rawlins. Three more areas are scheduled to be burned, weather permitting, sometime this fall. Shelley Gregory with the BLM says those areas include Marking Pen Creek 25 miles northeast of Rawlins, Iron Mountain which is 30 miles northwest of Cheyenne and Little Red Creek east of Flaming Gorge Reservoir and south of Rock Springs.






Gregory says you can view the fires, but only if you are in a safe place.






If you have any questions, you are encouraged to call your local BLM office.
