ROCK SPRINGS — Around 8:05 a.m., firefighters with Sweetwater County Fire District #1 responded to a fire near the intersection of Hoskins and Meadow.

A single horse stall with attached tack shed were involved in a fire which resulted in a total loss.

There were no injuries.

The cause of the fire is undetermined.

Although the building was a total loss, the quick reaction of neighbors and the homeowners to call 911 allowed firefighters to respond quickly and prevent the spread of the fire to other structures nearby. The firefighters of Sweetwater County Fire District #1 would like to remind the community to call 911 immediately upon the discovery of an emergency and to first protect themselves from injury or harm by distancing themselves away from the emergency.

Additionally, the firefighters of Fire District #1 would like to remind the community that it is against the law to drive over any fire hose.

Wyoming statute 31‑5‑232 reads:

Driving over fire hose. No vehicle shall be driven over any unprotected hose of a fire department when laid down on any street, private road or driveway to be used at any fire or alarm of fire, without the consent of the fire department official in command.
