The Soda Lake Fire is at an estimated 40 acres and growing rapidly. Initial attack is being supported by Sublette County Unified Fire. Crews are pursuing a full-suppression strategy.
The fire is burning three miles west of the U.S. Forest Service-Bridger-Teton National Forest boundary. Multiple values are at risk on nearby Bureau of Land Management – Wyoming, state, and private land including gas wells.
Fire aviation and ground crews need space to operate safely. Please avoid the area and no drones. Remember that if you fly, they can’t.
