The Sheridan County Sheriff has increased the evacuation status of both the Eagle Ridge Subdivision and the residences directly adjacent to the east of US Highway 14, going up the mountain, to “Set”. If you are in either of these areas, please take the time now to gather up important things and be prepared to evacuate if notified.
The Town of Dayton has been placed in a “Ready” status. If you live in the town of Dayton, take the time now to think about what you would want to take with you or where you might go if the Town of Dayton is put into a “Set” status.
There is an evacuation center being set up at the Sheridan County Fairgrounds at 1753 Victoria St., Sheridan, Wyo. This evacuation center will take large and small animals as well as have the ability to house people. If you have been evacuated, you may bring your camper to the fairgrounds as well. Please ensure you check in with staff upon arrival.
This evening’s community meeting is being moved to the Tongue River Middle School in Ranchester at 1251 Dayton St., Ranchester. Changing location will increase safety for fire responders and local community members in Dayton by decreasing traffic into town.
