GILLETTE, Wyo. – Two residents were evacuated from a home on Wind River Drive last night after a garage reportedly caught fire, authorities said Tuesday.
Campbell County firefighters and Gillette Police officers responded to the 2500 block of Wind River Drive at 9:36 p.m. after receiving a report of a garage fully engulfed in flames, according to Deputy Police Chief Brent Wasson and the Campbell County Fire Department.
Officers evacuated a 63-year-old man and a 25-year-old man from the residence, Wasson said, as well as those in neighboring residences.
