Fire

Both CPD and Casper Fire-EMS are investigating the incident. As of Thursday afternoon, no criminal activity is suspected.

Damage to the home was extensive to the point that it was left uninhabitable.

The Crater Ridge Fire ignited on July 17 in a remote area in the Bighorn National Forest.

Containment grew from 35% to 52% since Friday as a cold front moved through the area.

The residents in the home made it out prior to firefighters arriving.

Investigators think the fire was accidental, but it remains under investigation.

Video shows a house on fire in west Casper that caused enough damage to displace the occupants. Occupants were not home at the time of the fire, and pets were rescued, including a dog that was rescued by a neighbor through a window.

Bighorn National Forest officials say two wildfires were recently sparked in the eastern portion of the forest.

After a structure fire on Sunday that completely destroyed a storage shed, members of the Mike Sedar BMX Parents Association have launched a GoFundMe page to help offset the costs of damage to the structure and the loss of numerous parts of equipment, including bikes, helmets, trophies and more.

Officials with Yellowstone National Park have advised that the parkwide fire danger level for the park is "very high and Stage 1 fire restrictions are in effect."
