Shoshone BLM reports 49 acres burned in 2025 and warns of drought risk
Summary
Lisa Cresswell, Shoshone BLM field office manager, briefed commissioners on district-wide work in 2025, reporting only 49 acres burned but noting a moderate drought and the possibility of a more active fire season depending on spring conditions.
Lisa Cresswell, field office manager for the Shoshone Bureau of Land Management, met with the board to summarize district-wide work completed in 2025. She reported that only 49 acres burned in wildfires across the district last year and that, despite that low acreage, the county is in a moderate drought and spring conditions could lead to a more active fire season.
"There was no issue, I just wanted to meet the Board of Commissioners face to face and give a summary of the work that was done district-wide in 2025," Cresswell told the board, and she cautioned that drought conditions merit monitoring ahead of spring growth and potential fire activity.
