fire

Where would we be without them?

Investigators aren't yet sure what caused a fire at a vacant building in north Cheyenne last night.

The City of Cheyenne announced Wednesday that it has, once again, ordered the owner of the vacant Hitching Post Inn to demolish and remove the structure.

Investigators are still trying to piece together what caused last week's fire at the vacant Hitching Post Inn.

The Hitching Post was once a major Cheyenne landmark, known as "The Second Capitol" because so many legislators stayed there.

The Hitching Post was built in 1925 and was once a favorite home-away-from-home for Wyoming legislators and other movers and shakers.

This is a developing story and we will report more details as they become available.

The turbine fire burned itself out after a couple of hours, according to LCFD#10 Chief Paul Pomeroy.

Overall trend shows a decrease

Main Street Thermopolis announced Tuesday that Las Fuentes Mexican restaurant was totaled, but the rest of the businesses on the block in downtown Thermopolis appear to be OK.
