Sheridan County Commissioners announce efforts being made to aid those affected by Remington Fire

Sheridan County Commissioners Christi Haswell and Nick Siddle made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to discuss efforts being made to battle the Remington Fire in North East Wyoming. 

Sheridan County Road and Bridge plays a critical role in firefighting efforts by working to create fire lines. Haswell said the R&B and fire fighting teams as well as Sheridan County Emergency Management Coordinator Jesse Ludikhuize and Fire Warden Chris Thomas have done a great job. 

Siddle said the speed in which the wildfire grew made the situation difficult for the firefighters on the ground. But due to their tireless efforts and the addition of much needed air support, the situation has come under control.

The cost of the fire is already high for local farmers and producers in the affected area. Efforts are being made by generous individuals in the Sheridan County community to help those who have been affected by this fire.
