casper fire-ems department

Casper Fire-EMS reminds citizens that working smoke alarms save lives.

Firefighters say damage to the mobile home is extensive.

Andersen encouraged smokers to ensure cigarette butts and any ashes are out cold before discarding them.

Andersen said firefighters decided to get above the flames and drown them.

Fire-EMS responded with four engines and a truck company, as well as an incident commander and a fire investigator.

The extent of the man's injuries was not immediately clear, though Andersen said such incidents typically involve serious injuries.

All students and staff are safe.
