Wyoming fires

Hey folks,
My partner and I are planning on heading out to Wyoming for a bit of climbing next week (first time to Wyoming!). I've been seeing reports of a major fire south of Lander... forgive the ignorant question, but is climbing in Lander being notably affected by the fires at this point in time? Is there a good resource to check for regular updates?
Thanks in advance!

Inciweb.org gives information about current fires. I don't see anything about current fires in Wyoming? Also, here's the page for the Rocky Mountain Area Coordination Center, which doesn't report anything active in Wyoming: rmacc.info/

It's been a very wet spring in the Rockies.

There is no fire here currently. There is a LOT of bear activity, including one very large brown fella with a hump on his back.

Waffles?

Yes, Waffles, and some black bears as well in the campsite. Keep a clean camp. The life you save could be your own, but most likely it is a bears.

This is the part where I realize the link about WY fires that a concerned family member had been looking at/forwarded to me was from 2013.



Thanks for the responses/info!

I was going to say....it's been a super wet year, so I'd be surprised if there was a fire. I have done that before...not look at the date of the report. :)
