Original post below:

The Sandpiper Fire is now contained. Aircraft mapping has placed the fire at approximately 4,500 acres, with ground crews currently verifying and refining those numbers.

Multiple fire units remain on scene and are in patrol status all day, with ongoing reassessments. Natrona County Road & Bridge crews provided critical assistance in constructing containment lines. The entire Natrona County portion of the fire now has established lines around it.In Converse County, crews continue containment work with no visible smoke column at this time.

No reports of structure losses, no reported injuries to citizens or responders at this time. Interior pockets are expected to continue burning throughout the day, and light smoke from those areas may be visible periodically.

Thank you to all partnering agencies and crews for their continued efforts. Please remain vigilant as we are under more Red Flag Warnings today.
