Four wildfires this week burned out of control in Wyoming, prompting Gov. Matt Mead to call for putting “top priority” on public and firefighter safety, but the oil and natural gas sector apparently was not impacted.

The largest of the four fires, the Roosevelt fire near Bondurant, as of Monday had consumed 48,000 acres and was classified as a Type 1 fire and a “national priority,” according to Mead. The other fires were the Ryan in Carbon County, the Marten east of Afton in Lincoln County, and the Irish southeast of Boulder in Sublette County.

“We have not seen any problems in the oil and gas fields related to the fires,” said Petroleum Association of Wyoming Vice President John Robitaille. “So far, the fires are not an issue for the industry.”

Mead had said on Monday that 300 homes were evacuated, with more than 1,000 firefighters battling the blazes. The Ryan fire across 20,000 acres was not at all contained, the Marten fire had consumed 6,300 acres with 20% containment, and the Irish fire was being managed by local resources.

The entire state is experiencing “high fire danger” with red flag conditions in many areas. “These fires are extreme and dangerous because of terrain, fuel, and weather conditions,” Mead said. Firefighters from across the nation are among the workers fighting the blazes.

“I have asked that all resources necessary to fight those fires be made available,” Mead said, adding that Red Cross shelters were opened in Pinedale, WY.
