Town of Pinedale 4th of July fireworks still a ‘Go’
The Town of Pinedale still plans to have their 4th of July fireworks show on Wednesday night. The Pinedale Volunteer Fire Department will run the display and be on hand to manage the program.
Fire danger is rated High on the Bridger-Teton National Forest and a fire ban is being put into effect county-wide for no open fires. Fireworks are always prohibited year-round in Sublette County, with the exception of the approved, fire-department-supervised town displays.
Official fireworks displays this year:
July 4th - Big Piney/Marbleton for Chuckwagon Days
July 4th – Pinedale Independence Day celebration
July 14th – Green River Rendezvous "Spirit of the Winds" fireworks in Pinedale
These fireworks programs are being managed and supervised by the local volunteer fire departments.
The public is asked to abide by the fireworks ban and be very careful with fire. Outdoor recreationists should bring self-contained stoves for their cooking needs on camping and hiking trips into the forest.
Open fires restrictions are expected to go into effect shortly county-wide. Until the Forest Service and BLM change their fire restriction, campfires would still be allowed in campgrounds even with the county fire ban. Check with the Bridger-Teton National Forest for updates on fire ban status, 307-367-4326.
