Message from the County Fire Warden Chris Thomas regarding the PK Fire.

PK fire update: The fire received moisture most of yesterday. Crews yesterday mopped up the dozer berms with heat in them with help from a County blade. We were able to do a little more rolling back of the fireline berms on contingency lines along the Beckton road until the ground got too greasy to work.
The woody draw continues to have heat in there with cottonwood trees and brush burning well interior to the fire. The plan now is to monitor the fire and let that woody draw burn itself out over the next few days and weeks. Burning cottonwood trees can fall at any time so we do not want to risk putting firefighters into the draw at this time. If the weather changes and we need to do additional work around the woody draw beyond what we can handle, we are in talks with the State for resources to help with that.

I also want to thank everyone that helped out with this incident. None of us could do this alone and we are truly blessed with folks from many agencies that come together in times of need and work well together to get the job done.

At approximately 11:33am today, GVFD was paged to the report of a vehicle fire actively progressing to a fast moving grass fire on Dry Ranch Rd. Sheridan Fire was already committed to another possible vehicle fire at the same time and requested GVFD to respond as well. After SFR confirmed the other vehicle reported wasn't currently on fire, they responded as well.

During response, it was coordinated that SFR would make attack on the vehicle fire while GVFD would get a knock on the grass fire before it progressed any further. Both departments would also be supplied with water by Tender 207 due to limited water supply in the area.

Both departments were able to get a knock on both fires within a half an hour. Interagency coordination and response is crucial in these situations and we appreciate the opportunity to work together as always.

Thank you to the agencies that assisted including:
Sheridan Police Department 911
Sheridan Police Officers
Wyoming Highway Patrol
Wyoming Regional EMS
