Gas leak at Wilson Canyon Trailhead.

Top stories

  • Gas leak at Wilson Canyon Trailhead. At 18:50 Engine 71 and Battalion 6 were paged for a Synergy gas pump "hissing with a large odor" at the trailhead near Wilson; after brief confusion with a similar address on Wilson Canyon Road, crews isolated the leak and shut off the gas supply by 19:11. Engine 71 cleared at 19:21; Battalion 6 stood by for Lower Valley Energy and cleared at 19:38 after briefing them.
  • Carbon monoxide in an occupied home off East Simpson. Engine 11 was paged at 21:16 to a residential CO alarm; five occupants evacuated to their vehicle. At 21:32 the crew reported CO up to 30 ppm upstairs, shut down gas appliances and ventilated; readings were at zero and the family reoccupied by about 22:00.
  • Suspected impaired driver stopped after REDDI report from the Bird. A 19:44 broadcast (also aired statewide on TG 113) described a white Chevy pickup, two men "unable to walk straight," leaving the bar southbound on US-89. Unit 2273 located it and made contact at Old Yellowstone around 19:51 with WHP assisting; one adult male was taken to jail at 20:43, with implied consent and a hospital blood draw noted at 21:08. The passenger was sent by taxi and the truck secured in a pull-out.
  • Out-of-state homicide-suspect BOLO overnight. At 03:18–03:19 an attempt-to-locate from the Caldwell, Idaho PD aired on TG 113/6386: a silver 2001 Mercedes with Idaho plates, two juvenile occupants, one described as armed and dangerous with gang ties; stop and hold. Transcription is rough; no local sighting appears in the day's log.
  • Rolling domestic reported on US-191 near town. At 14:33 a WHP trooper (TG 6386) picked up county cross-traffic about a rolling domestic; at 14:38 it was placed northbound US-191 around MP 10–12 in a black Ford Explorer with 23-county plates. No resolution appears on the recorded talkgroups.
  • SAR helicopter flight to Bryan Flats. At 10:23 "Rescue 22" advised it was lifting from the SAR hangar toward Bryan Flats, pilot plus four, working around clouds to the west; it was back at the hangar by 12:48. The mission's nature was not stated on air.

Also on the air

A heavy traffic-enforcement day: roughly 50 plate checks and 19 records checks, concentrated on South US-89 (Game Creek, Hoback, Munger Mountain) and WY-22, with at least 6 formal traffic stops (mostly verbal warnings for speed/registration) and two jail transports in the 17:00 hour. About a dozen animal calls, including a dog bite reported at Urgent Care (09:22), a bear dragging a carcass off WY-22 near Phillips Canyon (09:30), a bear jam on WY-390 at Teton Pines (11:00), a loose Chihuahua-type dog near the fairgrounds (14:50), and four horses on the highway at WY-390/22 (19:47). Alarm calls included the Blue Lion (05:51, open door found, no trouble) and a residential fire alarm off Sagebrush (12:38, no hazards). START and school-bus channels handled a food truck blocking Scott Lane (08:14), 15-minute delays at the Snake River Bridge, a bus with a blinking transmission-oil warning, and the afternoon shuffle of kids on wrong buses. Welfare/suspicious calls: a possible child-abuse report near East Kelly (15:08, officers UTL), an elderly man in his underwear on Scott Lane (15:40, UTL), a man in a North Glenwood stairwell (17:30, contacted, no trespass on file), and a late welfare check at a Hidden Hollow Drive apartment (23:05, resolved).

By the numbers

1,998 transmissions across 592 exchanges (266 short status-only exchanges omitted). Busiest talkgroup: TG 1801 Teton County law dispatch (1,196 transmissions). Busiest hour: 14:00 (167), with the 13:00–17:00 block carrying the bulk of the day. Categories: status 224, unclassified 207, plate-check 50, medical 20, records-check 19, transit 15, animal 12, fire 12, alarm 9, traffic-stop 6, crash 5, traffic-complaint 4, welfare 4, suspicious 3, domestic 1, hazard 1.

Caveats

  • Not all traffic is Teton County: TG 13751 is Fremont County EMS/fire paging (Lander/Riverton), TG 109 and much of TG 6386 carry statewide WHP/I-80 traffic (Rock Springs complaints), and the 21:35 moose carcass work on TG 6403 was near Big Piney/Marbleton (Sublette County).
  • Whisper transcription is unreliable throughout — unit numbers, plate readouts, and place names (e.g., "Hart Six," "Henry's Road," "Stinker/Teton Springs") should be treated as approximate; the 03:18 homicide BOLO in particular is badly garbled.
  • TG 1812 is unlabeled but clearly school-bus operations; TG 1814 (helicopter) and TG 6599 also appear without labels. The 14:33 rolling domestic and the 10:23 helicopter mission have no logged outcome — likely handled on phone or unrecorded channels.
