SWEETWATER COUNTY — With the dry and hot conditions this year, Sweetwater County Fire Warden Mike Bournazian warns the community of the extreme fire danger this season.
“It is clearly a very dry year as Southwest Wyoming is in yet another drought cycle,” Bournazian said. “Wildfire Danger Ratings have already been in the ‘Very High’ category, which is early for us this time of year.”
Not only did the high fire ratings start early this year but Bournazian believes conditions will last for a while.

“Just ask any local rancher of how their water supplies are doing and what they’re seeing in their crops,” he said.
