The Natrona County Fire District has issued a few important reminders for people:

Yield to Emergency Vehicles: When safe, please pull over to the right side of the road (near sidewalks or shoulders) to let emergency vehicles pass. Check for additional responders before continuing.

Avoid Stopping Near Incidents: Please don’t park or linger near fire scenes to watch. This can block access for emergency crews, delay firefighting efforts, and create safety hazards like traffic accidents or additional fires.

No Drones Near Fires: Operating drones over or near fire areas can interfere with aircraft supporting firefighting efforts.

Casperites Share Scary Beautiful Pics of Lightning Storm

July 15, 2025. 📸 On the south west side of town, the sky looked like a strobe light. While there were a few lightning strikes that touched the ground, hundreds -- maybe thousands -- of strikes contributed to a sheet lightning storm, also known as intra-cloud lightning. This happens when electrical charges connect with a thunderstorm cloud, creating a disco-effect. But there were still plenty of cloud to ground strikes, and readers were quick to share them! ⚡
