July 12, 2019 background
Emergency responders were notified of the report of a wildland fire at the White Pine Ski Resort in Pinedale at approximately 1:20 AM on July 12, 2019. Emergency responders arrived on scene to an active fire in the lodge itself instead of a wildland fire. There were no injuries to responders and no extension to the neighboring structures or forest. Fire crews contained the fire to the lodge building and monitored the surrounding areas to ensure the fire didn’t spread to the surrounding forest or buildings. The response included multiple personnel from Sublette County Unified Fire, Sublette County Sherriff’s Office, Sublette County EMS, Sublette County Emergency Management and Bridger Teton National Forest. The cause is still under investigation.
