The Wyoming State Forestry Division has hired two Single Engine Air Tankers. When last seen on June 17 they were at the Casper airport.

The agency made the announcement on Twitter June 22.

Wyoming has added two Single Engine Air Tankers (SEATS) this summer to help keep fires as small as possible. We are grateful for the opportunity to utilize these resources. A big thanks to @BLMWyoming whose generosity provided the airport space for these planes.
