3 wildfires burning in Wyoming

Several wildfires are burning in Wyoming. Two fires are burning in the Shoshone National Forest and another in the Medicine Bow National Forest. A fire southwest of Lander has burned about 1,200 acres of trees, grass and sagebrush in Sinks Canyon State Park since it started Monday. Two subdivisions with about 50 residences have voluntarily evacuated and nearby campgrounds have been cleared. More than 200 firefighters aided by air tankers are on the scene and a federal team is taking over the fight Tuesday. To the north, a 50-acre wildfire is burning in the Washakie (WASH'-ah-kee) Wilderness in the Shoshone National Forest. The fire is being monitored. Another fire in the Medicine Bow National Forest is burning about a half-mile south of Wyoming Highway 70 in beetle-killed trees.
