UPDATE 9:40 PM

At 2:27 pm Wednesday, Goose Valley Fire Department was paged to the report of a grass fire on Big Goose Road at mile-marker 5. Goose Valley Fire responded with two brush trucks and a tender. Due to the large column of smoke that could be seen from Sheridan, command requested Sheridan Fire-Rescue, Big Horn Fire, and later Ranchester Fire to also respond. Firefighters arrived to find a wind-driven fire that was also making a run south up the hillside of the property.

The fire was contained at approximately 4:07pm, with mop-up operations lasting for another couple of hours to ensure all hot-spots were extinguished. The cause of the fire was determined to be a swather being used at the time. The size is estimated at 10 acres.
