Since the government shutdown began at 12:01 a.m. on Oct. 1, the Wyoming State Budget Department said the state will cover short-term federal funding gaps for affected employees under Gov. Mark Gordon’s protocols. The state health department also said it can maintain services for a few weeks while monitoring cash balances and federal drawdowns.

State Forester Kelly Norris reported at a recent meeting that 1,317 wildfires burned about 253,000 acres in 2025 and that suppression costs are tracking at about $21M. Most fires occurred on state and private lands— the largest being the Red Canyon Fire in Hot Springs County.

State lawmakers reviewed the Wyoming Health Department budget during a six-hour meeting on Sept. 30—where they examined funding priorities and cost-cutting measures. They will meet on Oct. 14 to study past cuts further and plan adjustments amid concerns about unsustainable spending.
