Bare Fire update August 11, 2026 (posted 8/11/2026)
439 Acres, 5% Contained
Bridger-Teton National Forest
BIG PINEY, WYOMING - The Bare Fire, in the Wyoming Range, is currently 439 acres and 5% contained. Approximately 202 personnel are assigned to the incident.
Yesterday, 50 mile per hour wind gusts paused firefighting operations briefly, grounded aircraft, and prompted a pullout of firefighters due to safety concerns. Before the storm rolled in, fire officials walked the fire on the north side, finding heat in some areas of the perimeter. Hoselines were used to help cool down those areas. On the east side, hand crews worked to suppress hotspots. Drones were flown in the morning to check for heat.
Significant work remains on the fire today as heat persists across the area, and smoldering and creeping are expected. Firefighters will continue to reinforce the fireline to help keep the fire from spreading and strengthen containment efforts. Containment is defined as control line that has been placed around a portion of the fire and fire should not be able to cross. Today, a Red Flag Warning is in effect, however, winds are not expected to be as strong as yesterday. Dry conditions remain.
Safety is always top priority for firefighters. High winds and timber snags add to the everyday dangers for wildland firefighters.
Smoke will continue to linger across the area due to ongoing wildfires throughout the western United States. For the latest air quality information, visit AirNow.gov.
Both the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the BLM High Desert District have issued Bare Fire Area and Road Closure Orders to provide for public and firefighter safety. Both orders are available on the Bare Fire InciWeb page under the "Closures" tab, located at https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-closures/wybtf-bare-fire.
Sublette County Sheriffs Office has coordinated pre-evacuation notices and utilizes the "Ready, Set, Go" alert system. High Lonesome Ranch is in the "Set" stage for possible evacuation. Sublette County Sheriffs Office and Sublette County Emergency Management will continue to provide updates.
Stage 1 Fire Restrictions are in effect for the Teton Interagency Dispatch area, which includes the Bridger-Teton National Forest, Grand Teton National Park, and the National Elk Refuge. See Stage 1 Fire Restrictions Forest Order #04-03-26-304 at https://www.fs.usda.gov/r04/bridger-teton/alerts/stage-1-fire-restrictions for more information.
The fire danger rating remains "high" for the area, meaning wildfires can start easily and spread quickly.

Bare Fire update August 10, 2026 (posted 8/10/2026)
Bridger-Teton National Forest
BIG PINEY, WYOMING The Bare Fire, in the Wyoming Range, is currently 443 acres. Approximately 202 personnel are assigned to the incident.
Fire managers are implementing direct extinguishment and indirect confinement strategies on the Bare Fire. A direct extinguishment strategy is when firefighters engage the active flame front directly to stop fire spread. An indirect confinement strategy is when firefighters work away from the active flame front to steer or contain the fire.
Yesterday, on the north side of the fire, crews completed constructing the line and will continue to secure line today. On the south side of the fire, crews continued to secure the fire line and saw minimal fire activity. Securing the line includes patrolling for hot spots, mopping up, and reducing the potential for spots across the line. Crews saw a few flareups but were able to extinguish them quickly. Work will continue today to strengthen containment efforts. Containment is defined as control line that has been placed around a portion of the fire and fire should not be able to cross.
Yesterday was a productive day for the fire operations despite adverse winds, with gusts up to 30 miles per hour. Hot and dry conditions are possible today, with a slight chance of isolated storms. Similar conditions are expected on Tuesday, but no storm activity is forecast.
Smoke will continue to linger across the area due to ongoing wildfires throughout the western United States. For the latest air quality information, visit AirNow.gov.
Both the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the BLM High Desert District have issued Bare Fire Area and Road Closure Orders to provide for public and firefighter safety. Both orders are available on the Bare Fire InciWeb page at https://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-closures/wybtf-bare-fire.

WYGF asks Pinedale anglers to adjust fishing practices during summer heat (posted 7/24/2026)
Wyoming Game & Fish
PINEDALE, WYOMING The Wyoming Game and Fish Department (WYGF) is asking anglers to help protect northwest Wyoming's premier trout fisheries by adjusting their fishing practices in the summer heat. Unseasonably warm temperatures and low-flow conditions across the Pinedale region are causing some stream temperatures to regularly exceed 70 degrees in the afternoon and evening.
Anglers are asked to voluntarily quit catch-and-release fishing from noon until sunrise at the following locations:
The Green River from the forest boundary to Fontenelle Reservoir
The New Fork River from Mesa Bridge to the confluence with the Green River
North Horse Creek
Signs explaining the voluntary closure will be posted at major public access points.
Warm water contains less dissolved oxygen, making it more difficult for fish to recover after being caught. As water temperatures approach 70 degrees Fahrenheit, the likelihood of released fish surviving declines significantly. Prolonged exposure to water temperatures above 75 degrees can be lethal for trout, while brief exposure to temperatures above 80 degrees is often fatal.
The voluntary closure is intended to encourage anglers to fish during the morning, when water temperatures are lowest, and trout have the greatest chance of surviving after release. While the closure is voluntary, we hope anglers will support the effort by adjusting their fishing schedule during the warmest weeks of summer.
Temperatures on North Horse Creek and the Green and New Fork rivers will be monitored, and these voluntary closures will be lifted or modified based on conditions. Anglers should check the Wyoming Game and Fish Fishing in the Heat webpage (https://wgfd.wyo.gov/fishing-boating/fishing-heat) for up-to-date information on closures across the state.
Recommendations for fishing during warm summer conditions
Regardless of where they fish, anglers can help improve the survival of released trout by adjusting their fishing practices as water temperatures increase throughout the summer. Carrying a pocket thermometer and periodically checking water temperatures is one of the simplest ways to determine when conditions become stressful for fish.
When water temperatures reach 65 degrees, the department encourages anglers to harvest fish in accordance with established regulations rather than practice catch-and-release. Once water temperatures reach 70 degrees, anglers should discontinue catch-and-release fishing altogether.
Additional practices that help reduce stress on fish include:
Fish during the early morning hours when water temperatures are coolest.
Carry a pocket thermometer to monitor water temperatures throughout the day.
Land fish as quickly as possible to minimize exhaustion.
Keep fish in the water while removing the hook whenever possible.
Avoid squeezing fish or placing fingers in their gills.
If a fish is deeply hooked, cut the line rather than attempting to remove the hook.
Use artificial flies or lures and consider using barbless hooks to reduce handling time.
If a fish is too exhausted to hold itself upright after release and regulations allow, consider harvesting the fish rather than releasing it.
Learn more about handling fish during high water temperatures.
Game and Fish encourages anglers to watch for the voluntary closure signs at major access points this summer and thanks the angling community for helping conserve Wyoming's premier trout fisheries through responsible stewardship.

Stage 1 fire restrictions go into effect July 22 (posted 7/21/2026)
Bridger-Teton National Forest
(Western WY, July 21, 2026) Stage 1 fire restrictions will go into effect for Grand Teton National Park, the Bridger-Teton National Forest and the National Elk Refuge beginning at 6:00 a.m. on Wednesday, July 22, 2026. The fire danger rating for the Teton Interagency Dispatch area remains at "high," meaning wildfires can start easily and spread quickly.
Fire managers use a variety of factors to determine when fire restrictions need to be applied to public lands, including the moisture content of fuels (how dry grasses, shrubs and trees are); projected weather conditions (including temperatures and possible wind events); the availability of firefighting resources nationwide; and the occurrence of human-caused fires.
In Grand Teton National Park campfires are only allowed in designated metal fire grates. Campfires are never allowed on the National Elk Refuge.
For the Bridger-Teton National Forest, the following stage 1 fire restrictions apply:
Lighting, building, maintaining, attending, or using a fire (including fires fueled by charcoal or briquettes) is prohibited, except if it is in:
- A permanent metal or concrete fire pit or grate that the Forest Service has installed and maintained at its developed recreation sites (campgrounds and picnic areas), listed in Forest Order # 04-03-26-304, Exhibit A.
- A device solely fueled by liquid or gas that can be turned on and off used in an area that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials within three feet of the device.
- A fully enclosed metal stove with a chimney at least five feet in length and a mesh screen spark arrestor with a screen opening of a inch or less used in an area that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials within 10 feet of the device.
The following stage 1 fire restrictions apply to all public lands within the Teton Interagency Dispatch area, including Grand Teton National Park, the Bridger-Teton National Forest, and the National Elk Refuge:
Smoking is prohibited, except in an enclosed vehicle or building, a developed recreation site, or while stopped in an area at least three feet in diameter that is barren or cleared of all flammable materials.
Welding, or operating acetylene or other torch with open flame is prohibited, except if in a cleared area of at least 10 feet in diameter and a chemical pressurized fire extinguisher (with a minimum 8 oz. capacity and rating of Class 2A) is kept with the operator.
Additionally, possessing, igniting, discharging or using any kind of fireworks or explosives is strictly prohibited on public lands.
Violations of these prohibitions are punishable as a Class B misdemeanor by a fine of up to $5,000 for individuals and $10,000 for organizations, or by imprisonment for up to six months, or both.
So far this year, Teton Interagency Fire personnel have extinguished 67 unattended or abandoned campfires. Abandoned campfires can quickly escalate into wildfires, and if your campfire sparks a wildfire, you can be held responsible for the cost of putting it out.
What you can do
During times of elevated fire danger and fire restrictions, the safest option is to not build a campfire at all. Dress warmly and use layers instead of relying on a campfire for warmth. If you choose to have a campfire where its allowed, have a plan for putting it out before ever lighting it, and:
Never leave a campfire unattended or abandoned.
Have a shovel and water bucket on hand.
Use several gallons of water to fully extinguish your campfire.
Drown, stir, feel and repeat until the ashes are cold to the touch.
Break up charred logs and cover all remains with dirt.
Other considerations
Do not park on tall grass as that grass can ignite when in contact with a hot vehicle.
If pulling a trailer, ensure your chains are clear of the ground as small sparks could start roadside fires.
If you come across an abandoned campfire and it is within your power, please put it out and contact Teton Interagency Dispatch to report its location.
