This project will continue to expand the Greater Cheyenne Greenway and provide more connections to neighborhoods in Cheyenne. It could also help rehabilitate the existing Greenway underpasses like at Yellowstone Road and at College Drive to prevent more costly repairs in the future.

The selection of these projects is supported by the Parks and Greenway Master Plan and the Safe Routes to School plan.

Cheyenne Fire Rescue (CFR) is continuing its investigation into the structure fire that occurred at 2505 E. Carlson St. To ensure a thorough and comprehensive review, CFR is being assisted by the Bureau of Alcohol, To***co, Fi****ms and Explosives (ATF) National Response Team.

"CFR is grateful for the opportunity to partner with the ATF National Response Team on this fire investigation,” Fire Chief Andrew Dykshorn said. “Our fire investigators will work side by side with the subject-matter experts in each discipline within the ATF National Response Team. These resources will help our community get clear answers about what happened in this incident."

The ATF assists local agencies with incidents all across the country with large apartment complexes such as this. They assist with witness interviews, searching through rubble from the fire, and documenting the entire process. The collaborative investigation aims to determine the cause and origin of the fire and to gather all relevant information in a systematic and timely manner. CFR and ATF personnel remain on scene as investigative efforts progress.

Updates will be provided as new information becomes available.

Cheyenne Fire Rescue responded Tuesday afternoon, May 26, 2026, to a reported structure fire at 2505 E. Carlson St.

Initial dispatch was received at 3:35 p.m. and CFR responded with four fire engines, one ladder truck, one Battalion Chief, and one support unit, totaling 19 firefighters. Engine 5 arrived on scene at 3:40 p.m., within five minutes of dispatch, and crews observed heavy smoke and fire coming from a three-story building under construction, behind multiple other apartment buildings. Battalion Chief 1 (BC1) assumed incident command and, given the winds, access to the construction site, significant fire conditions, and immediate structural concerns, directed crews to employ defensive firefighting tactics. This approach prioritizes firefighter safety while aggressively containing and controlling the fire. Additional CFR units and further requests for mutual aid brought more than 50 firefighters to the scene.

Crews successfully extinguished the bulk of the fire and adjacent buildings at 4:56 p.m. using aerial master streams, handlines, and coordinated defensive fire attack operations. According to the construction company for the apartment building, all workers are accounted for, and no injuries have been reported among civilians or firefighters.

Fire crews will continue to monitor the scene and address hotspots. CFR personnel remain on standby to respond to any additional smoldering hotspots. CFR's Community Risk Reduction (CRR) fire investigators remained on scene to support the fire investigation. Crews have maintained security at the site and ensured public safety.

CFR extends its gratitude to the following agencies for their assistance: Cheyenne Police Department, American Medical Response (AMR), Laramie County Sheriff's Office, Laramie County Fire District #1, Laramie County Fire Authority, and Wyoming Air National Guard Fire Department, and the Laramie County Combined Communication Center.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation by CFR's fire investigators.
