CHEYENNE - Wyoming’s fire situation continued to improve the last week due to rainy cool weather in the western part of the state over the Labor Day weekend. In the Teton Wilderness east of Jackson as of Sept. 7, moose area 32 is 70 percent open and areas 14 and 15 are now 100 open. Ninety percent of elk area 70 is available to hunters. Hunters are reminded all fire bans remain in effect on national forests, Bureau of Land Management and state lands. Lightning storms Sept. 5 ignited several small fires near Laramie Peak west of Wheatland and larger range fires east of Chugwater. To date, no Walk-In Areas were burned in the Chugwater fires.
