VIDEO: 'Fire-nadoes' Seen During Wyoming Wildfires

There are five large wildfires in Wyoming, with many smaller fires still not 100% contained. This amounts to about 270,000 acres burning. Here is a video of a few ‘fire-nadoes’ that were captured on video.

House Draw Fire: Johnson County
Approximate amount burned: 165,000 acres

Flat Rock Fire: Campbell County
Approximate amount burned: 45,000 acres

Constitution Fire: Campbell County
Approximate amount burned: 20,000 acres

Remington Fire: Sheridan County/Southern Montana
Approximate amount burned: 185,000 acres, 30,000 in Wyoming

What is a Fire-nado?

A ‘fire-nado’ is a whirlwind induced by a fire and often (at least partially) composed of flame or ash. These start with a whirl of wind, often made visible by smoke, and may occur when intense rising heat and turbulent wind conditions combine to form whirling eddies of air. These eddies can contract to a tornado-like vortex that sucks in debris and combustible gases.

Actual Wyoming Laws That are Completely Bonkers

Just like all states in the U.S., Wyoming has its own set of laws. If you dig deep into the Wyoming law book, you will find some real obscure laws you probably didn’t even know existed.

Wyoming Boys Soccer Kicks Off 2026 Season with Light Week 1 Slate

The 2026 Wyoming prep boys’ soccer season is here. The first week of the season has fewer matches for various reasons. Some teams are still in training, while other schools are on Spring Break. Teams in the 4A West Conference are the exception. They jump right into conference play. That includes one of three ranked matches this weekend. No. 1 Jackson is at No. 3 Kelly Walsh. The other two ranked showdowns are interclass games. One is on Friday, and the other is on Saturday.
