Sundance Fire-Cause
SUNDANCE, Wyo. – Fire officials in Wyoming say a fire that destroyed a home Saturday night was sparked by a wood scrap pile that got away in dry, windy conditions.
The Crook County Fire Warden says crews have been keeping an eye on the fire since its start Saturday night, making sure no hot spots reignite.
The fire was located about 11 miles north and east of Sundance near Sand Creek and Rifle Pit Road. It was listed at 90-percent containment Sunday night.
The fire burned one home with a garage and outbuilding. The home is owned by James and Jessica Halverson and their family. The family lost everything and there are several funds set up to help them, including one at Sundance State Bank and a GoFundMe page titled ‘Help-the-Halversons.”
