Sarah Pridgeon

Shortly after last week’s snowstorm, Fire Warden Charlie Harrison announced that the county burn ban was to be temporarily suspended until November 5. “The ban will be discussed at the commissioners’ meeting to determine if it will be suspended or modified to meet conditions,” he said. Following a 120-acre fire next to Keyhole State Park on the weekend, which Harrison says was caused by a controlled burn on private land that...

Mike Koshmrl, WyoFile.com
