Grass Fire

Casper Fire-EMS reminds citizens and visitors that fire in rural and urban interface areas can ignite and spread rapidly. Please abide by all rules of Natrona County's Stage 1 fire restrictions.

The 134 fire, as it has been labeled, is only the latest in a series of early-season grass fires in Laramie County.

A campfire is believed to have accidentally sparked a Sunday afternoon grass fire in southeast Cheyenne.

The larger fire is roughly five miles to the west of Cole Creek Road, Pepple said.

North Entrance Road was closed for 90 minutes as firefighters extinguished the blaze.

Levin said a firefighter suffered minor injuries to his hands when a car drove over a five-inch hose.

Laramie County Sheriff's Office spokesman Lt. Don Hollingshead says a resident on the west side of County Road 124 was burning trash when it got out of hand.

It burned roughly 1 acre before being contained.

The fire control situation is described by local authorities as “fluid” and several structures are reportedly threatened.

A grass fire along Interstate 25 south of Cheyenne kept area fire crews busy Friday.

The fire is spread over roughly 30 acres, and crews are working to contain it.

A helicopter arrived about 1:40 pm and started doing bucket drops of water.
