GREEN RIVER, WYOMINGÂ (July 16, 2020) — The Green River Fire Department had a busy Wednesday, responding to 7 calls between 3 P.M. and 8 P.M, including a structure fire.
Firefighters responded to the structure fire at 4:30 at 610 Wilson Street.
According to Fire Chief Larry Erdman, the fire was under control within 10 minutes of the department’s arrival.
An investigation showed the origin of the fire was a plastic cigarette butt planter that was next to the trailer.
Strong winds helped cause the siding to ignite, causing the rapid spread of the fire.
