Soda Lake Fire update
July 28, 2021

Wednesday, July 28, 7:30AM: This fire was reported around 3PM on Tuesday, July 27th and was around two acres in size at that time. The fire is about 40 acres this morning and actively burning in the South Cottonwood Creek drainage near Soda Lake in the Wyoming Range. The fire is burning on the Big Piney Ranger District of the Bridger-Teton National Forest about three miles west inside the National Forest boundary. Multiple resources are threatened, including gas wells, and a full-suppression effort is underway.

The public is asked to please stay out of the area to allow ground and aviation resources the space they need to operate safely. Please do not fly drones in the area.

Updates on this fire are being posted on the Bridger-Teton National Forest Facebook page. #SodaLakeFire

Weather is expected to be a little cooler this week in the 70Fs and 80Fs in the Upper Green River Valley. Moisture is moving in from the south which will cause thunderstorms to build up in the afternoons with lightning, strong downburst wind gusts, and heavy rainfall possible near these storms.

Fire danger is rated Very High in northwest Wyoming and Stage 1 Fire Restrictions are in effect. No campfires are allowed except for in developed campgrounds.

People are asked to be very careful when recreating outdoors. Be responsible with any possible ignition sources (cigarettes, hot exhaust from motor vehicles, chainsaw sparks).
