Good morning, Laramie.

On April 17, Laramie Elks Lodge 582 presented a check for $40,960.80 to IAFF Local 946 to support injured firefighters, using funds raised from over 750 community members at the Tacos and Margaritas for a Cause event held on April 4.

The event featured all-you-can-eat tacos, margarita specials and a silent auction—helping provide recovery support for the injured firefighters.

On Wednesday, April 16 at around 12:57 p.m., a 56-year-old Laramie County man died when he lost control and rolled his car near the intersection of County Road 138 and County Road 203—officials said speed likely contributed to the crash.

About 1,500 acres on Pole Mountain in Medicine Bow National Forest near Laramie will be treated with prescribed fire by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service starting as early as Monday, April 21.

Fire crews will burn when weather is right and smoke will be visible along Wyoming Highway 210 (Happy Jack Highway) and Interstate 80.

Laramie County Commission approved fireworks permits for Jurassic and Artillery World Fireworks near the Colorado border after negotiations led to strict restrictions—vendors cannot use bullhorn marketing—and a deal that requires Breanna Elliott to drop her active court cases and her father to keep 300 yards away.

City Council will hold a special meet and work session with the Laramie Planning Commission on April 22 at 6:00 p.m.—options include joining in person, via Zoom, Cable Channel 191 or YouTube, and the agenda will be posted Friday afternoon.
