SUBLETTE COUNTY, WYO – More than few thank you’s are in order as Sublette County Unified Fire responded to the report of a structure fire belonging yesterday on Fayette Pole Creek Road in Pinedale.
The Moulton Family house was fully engulfed and lost before SCUF could do much about it. Fire units arrived on scene to three fully involved structures and two separate hay stacks that were on fire.
No injuries were reported and, although there were some spot fires in the adjacent hay meadow, neighboring properties received no residual damage. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
The response included approximately 46 personnel from SCUF, Sublette County Sherriff’s Office, Sublette County operated water trucks, Red Cross, Sublette County EMS, Wyoming Highway Patrol, and BTNF E671 Fire engine and crew.
Due to the wind-driven conditions of the fire (gusts between 20 and 30mph and sustained winds of 15mph as recorded from the NWS during the time of the fire), SCUF fire apparatus and personnel set up in defensive positions to contain the fire to protect adjacent properties. Fayette Pole creek road was also closed to thru traffic for a brief time while crews worked the fire.
SCUF would like to extend their gratitude to Subway in Pinedale for preparing and donating 45 box meals for all the responders on the scene on such a short notice.
