The Bureau of Land Management announced that fire restrictions in the Wind River Big Horn Basin District have been removed. Hunters and outdoor enthusiasts can now use campfires, stoves and other open flames, though they must still follow all fire safety guidelines and stay alert for changing conditions. The agency reminds users that the area remains prone to wildfire risk during dry periods, so all fire use should be monitored, extinguished completely before leaving, and reported if it spreads unexpectedly.
