Cheyenne Fire & Rescue

A person was taken to the hospital after being rescued from a burning building in Cheyenne early Monday morning, Cheyenne Fire Rescue says.

A fire that ripped through two adjacent homes in north Cheyenne last Wednesday is believed to have been set by two teenage boys, investigators say.

According to the release, most of the evacuated patients were able to stay at healthcare facilities in Cheyenne, while the others were placed in Casper facilities.

Cheyenne Fire Rescue says a Tuesday afternoon fire in the 200 block of West 6th Street remains under investigation, and a cause and damage estimate have not yet been determined.

Deputies with the Laramie County Sheriff's Office are being credited for saving the life of an inmate who was suffering from a drug overdose.

Cheyenne Fire Rescue has been awarded a Staffing for Fire and Emergency Response grant through the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

A burn victim was found about a block away and was transported by ambulance for evaluation and treatment.

The blaze was eventually traced to a bathroom fan.

The occupants of the home were given temporary housing by the Red Cross. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

A 41-year-old transient is facing thousands of dollars in fines after allegedly setting multiple fires in downtown Cheyenne.

Cheyenne Fire Rescue saw a 10% decrease in calls for service in 2021 compared to 2020, according to an annual report released Wednesday.

They had to cut a hole in the ceiling to reach the fire, and the home was damaged by the fire as well as water and extinguishment activities.
