Bondurant, Wyo., June 25, 2024– The Bridger-Teton National Forest is continuing work on the Monument Ridge prescribed fire near Bondurant, Wyoming. The prescribed fire activities began on June 7, 2024. The Forest firefighters worked their way through the project area burning 3500-acres in total, over 10-days, while the weather and other factors were favorable for the treatment. The purpose of the prescribed fire is to help protect homes and property in the area. Fuel reduction at the interface between natural lands and developments can reduce the intensity of the fires before they enter populated areas. The firefighters began patrolling and mopping up the prescribed fire earlier this week.
