forest fires

The U.S. Forest Service anticipates burnings in the Pole Mountain area to continue on and off throughout the spring and summer.

Casper Mountain, for example, is barely visible from downtown Casper.

The Weather Service passed the warnings along on behalf of the Wyoming Department of Health.

Firefighters have had to contend with dry, breezy weather and the fact that the fire is burning in an area with an abundance of dead trees.
