Cheyenne Fire Rescue successfully rescued a trapped occupant from a residential structure fire in the 1600 block of Rollins Avenue on Dec. 17.

At 11:18 a.m., Laramie County Combined Communication Center was notified of a residential structure fire with an occupant trapped. Cheyenne Fire Rescue was dispatched and responded to the fire with Engine 1, Engine 2, Engine 5, Engine 6, Ladder 1, and Battalion 1.

Battalion 1 arrived on the scene, established incident command, identified smoke coming from the home, and was informed by a bystander that a person was trapped. They directed Engine 1 to conduct a fire attack. Engine 1 quickly deployed 200 feet of fire hose and entered the home, located the individual, and carried them to safety. The rescued person was immediately transported by ambulance to the local hospital. The occupant's condition is not available at this time.

Following fire suppression, personnel performed a comprehensive secondary search of the entire structure for additional victims or pets; the search yielded negative results.

Personnel from Cheyenne Fire Rescue's Community Risk Reduction (CRR)/Fire Investigation unit responded to the scene to conduct a formal origin and cause investigation. The team performed comprehensive scene reconstruction, utilizing digital photography and iGuide (a 3D documentation system) to document the environment. Fire Investigators are trained to identify the fire's point of origin and potential cause.

Cheyenne Fire Rescue was assisted on scene by the Cheyenne Police Department, American Medical Response (AMR), and Black Hills Energy.

The cause of the fire is currently under investigation.
