## Daily Wildfire Report for Wyoming - July 28, 2025
### Overview
Wyoming is currently experiencing conditions that contribute to wildfire risk, with dry fuels prevalent across much of the state. The National Preparedness Level is currently 4, indicating that national resources are heavily committed to managing ongoing incidents. This level suggests a high demand for firefighting resources across the country.
### Current Situation
**Fire Activity:** While specific large, active fires in Wyoming were not detailed in the provided search results from the last 72 hours, the general conditions indicate a continued potential for wildfire starts and spread. The state's wildfire situation is influenced by dry conditions and the availability of fuels.
**Key Fires:** No specific significant fires in Wyoming were detailed in the search results for the last 72 hours.
### Prescribed Burns and Land Management
The Bureau of Land Management's High Desert District recently completed prescribed burns in southwest Wyoming, covering approximately 182 acres near Kemmerer and Pinedale. These operations are part of the Wyoming Range Mule Deer Habitat Project, aiming to improve wildlife habitat and reduce hazardous fuels by controlling conifer encroachment and restoring aspen stands.
Wyoming has regulations regarding prescribed burning, managed by the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WY DEQ). These regulations, detailed in Chapter 10 of the Wyoming Air Quality Standards and Regulations, cover both small-scale and large-scale burns, with requirements for public notification, supervision, and adherence to specific weather conditions. The Wyoming Prescribed Fire Council actively promotes the use of prescribed fire for ecological benefits and public understanding.
### Weather and Wind Warnings
**Current Weather:** Current conditions in Wyoming include sunny skies with a low chance of rain. Temperatures are in the high 70s Fahrenheit, with humidity around 29%.
**Forecasted Weather:** The forecast indicates a trend towards drier and hotter conditions through Monday. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to increase in coverage from Tuesday through Thursday. Breezy southwest winds are anticipated in parts of Nevada and Utah, which could influence fire behavior in adjacent areas. While no Red Flag Warnings were explicitly mentioned for the immediate past 72 hours, the general dry conditions and potential for increased winds elevate the concern for fire weather.
### Recommendations
Residents are advised to stay informed about current fire conditions and weather forecasts. It is crucial to practice fire prevention measures, such as ensuring any fires are completely extinguished and properly disposing of smoking materials. Understanding evacuation levels (Level 1: Be Ready, Level 2: Be Set, Level 3: Go) is also important for preparedness.
