Natrona County Residents Lose Home and Dogs in Fire

Firefighters were dispatched this morning at about 8:44 a.m. after someone reported white smoke billowing from the roof of a double-wide trailer on Pronghorn Road.

Natrona County Sheriff's deputies arrived first to find smoke and fire coming from one of the bedrooms of the home.

When firefighters arrived they began to immediately attack the fire, but it spread beneath the trailer, causing the floor to give way.

No injuries to firefighters were reported.

However, the home is considered a complete loss due heavy smoke and fire damage.

The owners of the trailer were not home when it happened, but during salvage and overhaul operations, two adult dogs were found deceased inside, with one puppy still missing.

At this time, the fire is still under investigation and more information will be provided later as it becomes available.

"Please keep the victims of this fire in your thoughts and prayers as they have lost their home and their family pets. A Natrona County Burn Fund check and hotel rooms are being offered to the owners. NCFD would like to thank all agencies and mutual aid partners with their assistance with this incident. Thank you all for your cooperation and your continued support."

Multiple fire units from the Natrona County Fire District and the Bar Nunn Fire Department responded to this incident.

Other agencies and units assisting the incident were Natrona County Sheriff's Office and Banner Health (Wyoming Medical Center).

Companies called to secure utilities were Rocky Mountain Power.
