Status:
Wyoming BLM will be conducting a prescribed burn this weekend approximately six miles northeast of Newcastle (east of Beaver Creek Road and west of the state line). This managed event is intended to promote forest health and reduce future wildfire risk. Residents may observe heavy smoke in the area Saturday and Sunday which could linger into next week. Resources will remain on scene as needed throughout this period and will continue to monitor the fire for several days. The public is asked to please not call 911 to report this controlled burn or to inquire about its status, so as to not tie up our local Dispatchers unnecessarily. As public and firefighter safety remain top priorities, please avoid the area so fire resources can move about as needed.
