Help us spread this message by a donation to heretohelpwy.org/donations. Donations of 30$ or more will receive a t-shirt and free sticker. Enter “NOT AN OPTION” and address information in the message box during the donation process. Thank You!

For our local Douglas community we have a drop off set up at the Plains Motel front office for food products, bottle water, hygiene products and anything else you can donate. Thank you

Badger Creek Fire Status

Badger Creek Fire Post Update

8 July 2018

Was looking at the weather forecast on KCWY News 13. Our thoughts are with the men and women still up there working the fire.

Gosh I can’t imagine what the men and women are having to go thru as they continue working on the Badger Creek Fire west of Laramie.

According to Rocky Mountain Incident Management Team site the fire is 90 percent contained. Yea.. they are making progress

Just wanted to throw out a really big thank you to the men and women on the fire line.

Your service, hard work getting the job done is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

17 June 2018

Douglas, Wyoming has been concerned for those who have been touched by the effects of the Badger Creek Fire. We wanted to help out the young women and men on the front line as the fire went from a few acres to many thousands of acres.

Here To Help Foundation of Wyoming has started a fire donation drive to collect items to help the fire fighters.

Through word of mouth and social media the wave has started.

When we arrived in Laramie we found that the authorities had closed the roads and access to the fire camp was not possible.

We attended a meeting that took place at the Laramie Fair Grounds.

Rocky Mountain Incident Management Team provided information to the public and those who have been effected by the fire. Details concerning fire fighting progress and information for those who had to be evacuated.

After the meeting I ran into a local volunteer fire fighter who had set up facilities at his shop where donations could be dropped off.

Thank you Tracy for helping us get our donations to the fire camp.

Thank you and those you serve with for your much needed service.
