Laramie County Fire District #10

Due to increasing fire danger, Stage 1 fire restrictions are now in effect for Laramie County Fire District #10 in the southwest corner of the county.

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

The fire caused the closure of part of Otto Road early Thursday afternoon.

Western Laramie County is at a higher elevation and often experiences more extreme weather conditions and difficult road conditions. Locating a structure on a back road at night or in bad weather also proves challenging.
