We are grateful to have these guys to aid us when our community needs us most.

Well deserved honor.

Life-saving courage in the mountains.

A Wyoming Army National Guard MEDEVAC crew was recently recognized for a nighttime mountain rescue that saved the lives of two civilians after a fatal aircraft crash near Sheridan.

On Sept. 1, 2025, while on wildfire standby in Pinedale, the crew launched into high-altitude terrain, heavy smoke, and fading light. With no safe landing zone, they executed a precision hoist rescue through dense timber—overcoming entanglement in treetops to bring survivors safely aboard.

👏 Recognized for their actions:
Maj. Lauren Gurney
CW2 John Mathews
SFC Andrew McCown
SSG Ashley Ott
(Golf Co., 2-211 GSAB)

This is what readiness, teamwork, and service look like when Wyoming needs it most.

Recreate responsibly and obey federal, state, and county closures.

We hope all of our winter tracked vehicle friends get the snow they desire soon! If you are ever in a bind up there, don’t hesitate to get help dispatched as soon as possible, especially as harsh weather conditions can escalate quickly in the Big Horns.

Let’s help out one of our own partner first responders during this holiday season overcome tragedy!

Last night, one of our fellow first responders lost his home and all belongs in a devastating fire. This family just welcomed a new baby to the world and also have a 3 year old. Thankfully, everyone made it out of the home safe but they will be completely starting over. If you are able to, please help this family get back on their feet. Let’s show them how well this community takes care of one another in times of need! Thank you.
