Cheyenne Fire Rescue Investigating Ridge Road Fire

Cheyenne Fire Rescue investigators are continuing to probe what caused a structure fire in the 4300 block of Ridge Road on Sept. 11, 2025.

That's according to a CFR news release.

According to the release. firefighters were called out at10:26 p.m. and were on the scene by 10:32 p.m. When they got there they found heavy smoke on the front side of the single story structure, and heavy smoke and window staining affecting about half of the building.

The fire was under control by 10:41 p.m., according to the release.

According to the release: "Battalion Chief 1, along with Engines 1, 4, 5, 6, Ladder 1, and Support units responded to the emergency. Upon arrival, crews determined that all occupants had safely evacuated the structure. A rapid transitional attack was initiated from the front of the building after Engine 5 conducted a comprehensive size-up and 360-degree assessment."

Access To Parts Of The Building Was Difficult

The structure did offer firefighters some unusual challenges because the building had been added onto three or four times from the original structure. In the words of the release:

"Search crews noted that access to various locations was complicated due to ongoing renovations, with ingress and egress points below standard. Despite these challenges, crews effectively handled the situation and worked safely and efficiently. No injuries from civilians or firefighters were reported.

Three separate renting parties were displaced due to smoke and fire damage. The estimated property loss totaled $199,654, with the structure's original value assessed at $425,753. Assistance from outside agencies included Laramie County Combined Communications Center, the Cheyenne Police Department, American Medical Response, and Black Hills Energy."

The release says the property damage from the blaze is estimated at just under $200,000.
