Laramie, WY – The next few days could cause the fire near Dubois to grow and move towards 300 homes. The forecast is for wind and warm temperatures until Thursday when the area might cool off a bit and see some rain. Fire information officer Carl Jungck says they were anticipating that and tried to be prepared for today. The homes are on the other side of that fire line. Jungck says there are 500 people working to confine the fire and keep it from reaching the homes.
