Grass Fire Near Laramie Shuts Interstate, Evacuations Avert Damage
A 56 acre grass fire broke out Monday afternoon west of Laramie near mile marker 310 of Interstate 80, prompting a temporary westbound lane closure and evacuations because of nearby gas station infrastructure. Firefighters from city, county and volunteer departments contained the blaze around midnight, a local official said, and residents should be aware of wildfire risk along travel corridors as dry, gusty conditions continue.
