Fire Restricitons Lifted On BLM High Desert District Lands

Here is a little relief from the Bureau of Land Management High Desert District. Shelley Gregory tells us that as of midnight Friday night, all restrictions will be lifted by the Kemmerer, Pinedale and Rock Springs field offices within in Fremont, Lincoln, Sublette and Uinta Counties.






Some restrictions are in effect year round on BLM administered public lands including the use of fireworks, discharging a firearm using incendiary or tracer ammunition, burning tires or explosive materials and operating off road vehicles without a spark arrester.






BLM Fire Management Officer Frank Keeler stresses that Temperatures are cooling; however, until the weather changes significantly with sustained rain or snowfall, conditions will remain extremely dry and the risk of wildfire will remain high.
