Residents of the communities affected by the Keystone Fire will be able to return to their homes today.

Laramie Police are looking for information about a stolen guitar belonging to a Forest Service employee currently working on the Keystone Fire.

The contingency lines are important, as Medicine Bow National Forest Supervisor Dennis Jaeger explained in a news release Tuesday morning.

Management of the Keystone Fire will transition from the Type 2 Rocky Mountain Blue Team to a local Type 3 team on Tuesday, July 18.

Firefighters are taking advantage of the weather and wind patterns to conduct burnout operations.

The rain prompted firefighters to postpone a planned burnout along the southern side of the fire on Thursday.
