Forest fire activity has been among the worst on record across much of the West this summer, but it should be a typical fire season here.
State Forester Bill Crapser says that’s because of the unseasonably rainy weather Wyoming saw in June and July. Crapser says Wyoming’s fire season has started to pick up, but he doesn't expect things to get out of control.
“So I think we are going to see increased fire activity, but I’m not expecting to see some of the conditions that some of the west coast have been seeing this year or Alaska has been seeing…just because of the moisture we have had.”
Crapser expects that it will be a normal fire season.
