RLFR Fights House Fire As it Ignites Wildland Fire
By ELEANOR GUERRERO | Carbon County News

Unfortunately, we are already in fire season for Carbon County. On Wednesday, April 24, Red Lodge Fire Rescue reported a structure fire. It ended up spreading to the woods beyond the home. It was a difficult fire for the department as they explained in their report:

"Tuesday, April 23, Red Lodge Fire Rescue along with Absarokee Fire, Columbus Fire and Roberts Fire responded to a structure fire up the East Rosebud Canyon. By the time responders were able to get to the house, it was fully involved.

Fortunately, no one was at home at the time of the blaze.

The fire in the home ignited a wildland fire on the surrounding hillside which was quickly extinguished by firefighters. The steep terrain made access challenging, but crews were able to supply adequate water and ensure safety.

Unfortunately, the structure was a complete loss."

Thank you Sibanye Stillwater Mine! Earlier this year they granted Absarokee Fire with $10,000 to purchase an enclosed trailer to house and transport our side by side. It’s here and it’s perfect! Thank you for the continued support from sibanye stillwater mine!
