At approximately 11:00 p.m. last night, crews responded to a structure fire on Kara Mountain Road. The building was a total loss. Two civilians sustained injuries and received medical attention.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

We’d like to thank the responding agencies for their assisting Crook County Fire, including Sundance, Moorcroft, and Pine Haven Fire Departments.

Today's Wyoming sunrise was captured by Bryan Cropper in Douglas. Bryan writes, "I love the way the sun coming over the horizon just made the clouds glow. It was very impressive first thing this morning."

Towns like Pine Haven rely on a network of volunteer firefighters with limited resources to battle sometimes-deadly blazes. In Crook County, property tax cuts have slashed an account meant for new fire engines and equipment.

After a chilly morning across much of western and central Wyoming, temperatures will warm up today and we are looking at a quite pleasant and quiet rest of the work week. With breezy afternoon winds, elevated fire weather conditions will be in place across southwest and central WY for Wednesday and Thursday. We then look ahead to a wetter and cooler pattern for the weekend and into early next week.
