County weighs partial fire restrictions as fairgrounds, sheriff prepare for rodeo week
Summary
Officials signaled plans to consider partial fire restrictions at an emergency agenda item ahead of rodeo week; fairgrounds staff and the sheriff reported preparations and weather monitoring support from the National Weather Service.
Cameron Duff, Administrative Director, reported for Sheridan County Fire Warden Chris Thomas and asked the Board to amend Tuesday’s agenda to consider implementing partial fire restrictions beginning at 8:00 a.m. on July 8, 2026. "to consider amending their Tuesday agenda tomorrow and add 'Consider Partial Fire Restrictions Implementation' to start at 8:00 a.m. on July 8, 2026," the minutes record. The request came as fairgrounds staff and law enforcement prepared for rodeo-week events amid dry conditions.
Kimber Solberg, Fairgrounds Director, said the fairgrounds crew were busy preparing to host rodeo events. Sheriff Levi Dominguez reported that July 4th events 'went well' and that his office will provide a presence at several rodeo events. The Board received the report and a separate agenda amendment request; the staff meeting did not record a Board decision on restrictions, which will be considered at the amended Tuesday meeting.
