Sublette County and all Federal lands are currently at the high fire danger level. This means any fire caused by the use of firework could start fires resulting in significant fire damage. It is a misdemeanor for illegally using fireworks in Sublette County punishable by a fine of not more than $750.00 and a violation on Federals lands of a fine of $250.00.
