Due to dry conditions and local fire restrictions, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department is banning open fires on all Game and Fish Commission-owned and administered lands within Hot Springs and Park Counties.
These lands include Sunshine Wildlife Habitat Management Area west of Meeteetse and Sunlight Wildlife Habitat Management Area northwest of Cody. Open fires are always prohibited on Game and Fish Public Access Areas within the Big Horn Basin.
The following acts are prohibited on all Wyoming Game and Fish Commission-owned and administered lands:
- Building, maintaining, attending or using a fire, campfire charcoal grill, coal or wood burning stove.
- Smoking except within 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 material.
- Fireworks are always prohibited on Wyoming Game and Fish Commission lands.
