A lumberyard and an outbuilding were destroyed as fire crews battled a wildfire near Shoshone.
The Lagoon Fire, measured at 1,000 acres Thursday morning, was sparked by a lightning strike around midnight Tuesday. According to the Bureau of Land Management, crews will assess other structures in the area of the fire Thursday to see whether there is additional damage.
The wildfire spurred evacuations in Shoshone Wednesday as the fire burned nearer to homes. People living on both sides of Highway 93, north to the Grape Creek Subdivision, were urged to get out. Evacuations were lifted that same night after firefighters got the upper hand on the flames.
