Firefighters Put Out Garage Fire Southwest Of Sheridan

On December 30, 2024, Sheridan Fire-Rescue (SFR), Goose Valley Fire Department (GVFD), Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO) Deputies, and Wyoming Regional EMS (WREMS) responded to 20 Saddle Lane at 09:17 for a reported structure fire.

SFR Engine 2 (E-2) arrived on scene at 09:29 finding a single story detached garage/shop
with a moderate amount of fire and smoke showing from the rear half of the structure.

E-2’s crew deployed preconnected handlines to initiate fire attack starting on the
exterior.

SCSO deputies assisted the fire crews with moving livestock away from the area, keeping civilians in a safe location, and providing traffic control.

WREMS responded to standby for civilian and firefighter safety. GVFD responded with additional personnel and water tenders due to the remoteness from hydrants.

The fire was challenging to control due to the weather conditions with a wind of 20+ miles per hour and the lack of a sustained water supply.

Once the fire was controlled, crews transitioned to overhaul to remove all residual heat and the potential for rekindle.

The State Fire Marshal’s Office is currently conducting an Origin and Cause investigation.

No civilians, pets, or emergency personnel were injured during this fire.
