Moonshine Fire Forces Evacuations in Albany County Amid Gusty Weather
Crews are battling the Moonshine Fire in southeast Wyoming, where steep terrain and dry winds prompted evacuations and structure defense operations. Ground teams and heavy aviation assets are securing containment lines and defending ranches in the Laramie Range. Critical fire weather will expand across central and southern Wyoming as strong winds develop.
Key Fires
- Moonshine Fire — Burning in steep timber southwest of Wheatland, the fire prompted Level 3 'GO!' evacuations in the Bookout Ranch area and destroyed two outbuildings. Firefighters and aircraft are reinforcing lines along the northern perimeter near the Laramie River while continuing structure protection around nearby ranches.
Conditions and Outlook
Red Flag Warnings take effect Monday afternoon across central, south-central, and southeast Wyoming due to low relative humidity and strong westerly wind gusts. Fire potential will moderate slightly by midweek as winds ease and cooler temperatures arrive across the region.
What Residents Should Do
- Evacuate immediately if located within the Bookout Ranch Level 3 evacuation zone.
- Avoid outdoor burning and ensure trailer chains do not drag to prevent roadside sparks.
- Monitor Albany County Emergency Management and official notices for updated fire boundaries.
