Cheyenne Fire Rescue Responds To Building Fire On July 31

From the City of Cheyenne:

Originally published on August 1

Cheyenne Fire Rescue (CFR) was dispatched to a possible tree fire/trash fire in the area of 819 E. 15th Street at approximately 10:11 p.m. last night, July 31, 2019.

Upon arrival, the Fire Officer discovered a fully involved structure at the Croell Concrete Ready-Mix plant. Additional units responded to assist and due to the amount of fire, the Incident Commander selected a “Defensive” Operation to ensure the safety of firefighters and to protect the adjacent buildings.

The building was an old storage building for the concrete plant that had a mix of items and not readily used in the daily operations. CFR was able to confine the fire to that structure and fully extinguish the flames by 10:55 p.m.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation and there were no reported injuries to CFR personnel or civilians.

Contact Cheyenne Fire Rescue for further information at 307-637-6311.
