“Everybody did a great job and nobody got hurt,” stated Fire Warden T.J. Hunt about the fire that blazed through a home just past the golf course in Pinedale on Tuesday afternoon.

Emergency crews began responding to the incident around 11:30 a.m. on Tuesday and the fire was reported completely out by 3 p.m. Hunt reported no one was inside when the fire started. Firefighters from the Pinedale, Daniel, Boulder, Kendall and Big Piney/Marbleton volunteer departments were all present to lend a hand.

With the fire out, Hunt affirmed they would begin overhaul operations and investigations Tuesday evening. Further information has yet to be released.
