I'm a former Casper resident and current owner of a home on Casper Mountain. This fire seems to be threatening the whole mountain as well as all the subdivisions on the southside of town. Are there any Casper residents out there with any current information?

I heard it has slowed a bit overnight, but it's supposed to get windy today, so things could get interesting. It's continuing to burn to the east, heading toward Hogadon.

I believe the Feds have taken over the fight, which means the entire mountain will probably burn.

Thanks for the link. Having fought several wildfires in that area, I know what you mean about the Feds taking over. Casper Mt. Fire District does a great job, but this is too big for them.

The smoke was bad yesterday, I have heard well over 10,000 ac. Feds have a type 1 team in there. I was involved with the fire up here in the hills a month ago, the feds really take over and a small city springs up over night.

It appears that the fire is about 50% contained. http://www.trib.com/

We have another one going, just south east of me, I think it will be called the Plum Creek fire. Big storms last night.
