Structure fire

The Casper Fire-EMS Department is asking people to avoid the area in the 5000 block of Mountain Way.

Casper Fire-EMS credits functioning smoke alarms connected to a third-party security system for their prompt notification to firefighters - because of this, firefighters were able to quickly locate and extinguish the small amount of fire with minimal damage and disruption to homeowners.

A Casper family were displaced on Monday afternoon after their house caught fire, and now they're looking for their missing dog.

In an unrelated matter, a burned car was found on a downtown street on Friday.

The fire and smoke were limited so the residents were not displaced.

Yesterday evening, shortly after 9:00 PM, there was a structure fire reported at the 1400 block of S. Forest Drive, according to a press release from the Casper Fire-EMS. The release said that an electrical panel in the home appeared to be malfunctioning, producing heat, sparks, and light smoke...

"Multiple agencies are actively investigating this incident," the release noted. "We will need time and patience from the public during this investigation, as we figure out what started this fire. We will update you with more information on findings as it becomes available. This was a very complex incident with a lot of dynamic factors affecting the situation."

The smell of smoke was wafting through the air on Friday night as firefighters gathered to battle an enormous structure fire in Mills, Wyoming.

When firefighters went into the home, they found and quickly removed several pets.

Firefighters from Casper responded to two reported structure fires late Tuesday and early Wednesday.

The residents in the home made it out prior to firefighters arriving.

Video shows a house on fire in west Casper that caused enough damage to displace the occupants. Occupants were not home at the time of the fire, and pets were rescued, including a dog that was rescued by a neighbor through a window.
