SHERIDAN, WYO. – Residents affected by the PK Fire in Sheridan County are now able to return home as all evacuation notices have been lifted and firefighters continue containment efforts.
The Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office says recent moisture has helped improve conditions, allowing evacuation levels to be reduced and eventually removed altogether. No areas remain under evacuation status, although officials are reminding residents to remain prepared in case conditions change.
According to the National Interagency Fire Center, the PK Fire has burned 1,645 acres and is now 80 percent contained.
Fire crews continue monitoring the fire line and conducting mop-up operations to prevent flare-ups. Authorities are also asking the public to stay out of the affected area while firefighting personnel complete their work.
