Top stories

• Tractor-trailer brake fire on WY-22 at mile marker 5 (downtown Wilson). At 14:10 a Highway Patrol trooper stopped a combination unit on WY-22 in connection with an overweight weigh-in-motion hit and reported its brakes on fire; Jackson Hole Fire/EMS paged the duty officer, Engines 21 and 61 and Support 69 at 14:13 (TG 6386/1807). Engine 21 arrived at 14:19 to white smoke and no flames, cooled the front axles with water and cleared by 14:32. At 23:26 a trooper cleared a related CVSA inspection with the driver placed out of service for operating while ill or fatigued and cited; the rig is to be towed today.
• Black 2022 Ram 1500 reported stolen from a Jackson home. A statewide stop-and-hold broadcast went out at 16:00 (TGs 113/109/6403) for a black 2022 Ram 1500 on local Teton County plates, last seen at the owner's home; authority Teton County SO. At 23:55 on TG 1801, a sheriff's unit was reportedly on the phone with a suspect and dispatch re-aired the truck's description — still active at end of log.
• E-bike rider injured in collision at the courthouse. At 14:02 Medic 10, Engine 11 and the duty officer were paged to South King Street in front of the courthouse for an e-bike vs. car collision; the rider, who was wearing a helmet, had a knee laceration. Medics made patient contact by 14:04. Separately, a white Dodge vs. semi collision was dispatched on South US-89 at 12:44 (outcome not aired), a no-injury fender bender at Broadway and Jackson Street was resolved with an information exchange around 19:37–20:06, and at 20:24 a county unit took over a crash on WY-22 from Highway Patrol.
• Possible stroke at Snow King miniature golf. At 17:05 Medic 10 was paged for a 40-year-old male unable to move and not responding or breathing normally; a medic unit radioed en route to St. John's at 17:17, consistent with a transport.
• Bear cub worked its way through the school campus area. At 09:11 dispatch advised of a cub, mother unknown, on Colter Elementary grounds; it moved to the middle school and then apartments behind it while staff watched and Game & Fish was notified (TG 1801). Last seen heading northeast on South Park Loop toward Maverik at ~09:27; the deputy cleared unable to locate at 09:32. School-bus radio (TG 1812) also flagged a bear in Melody Ranch at 14:24.
• Overheating house triggers nighttime fire response on Cache Creek Drive. A 22:46 page sent Engine 11 to a Cache Creek Drive residence after an out-of-town owner — whose gas had been turned on by the utility earlier in the day — saw room temperatures near 90°F remotely. Crews found no hazards but both furnaces cranked (~85°F setpoint), shut them down at the owner's request, and returned at 23:13 to double-check the gas.

Also on the air

A steady patrol day on TG 1801: roughly 31 plate checks and 32 records checks, seven logged traffic stops ending in warnings or citations, and an early-morning arrest — one adult male taken to jail after field sobriety tests at Willow and Deloney around 00:30, with implied consent refused and a blood draw at St. John's (02:15). Two bank alarms (Bank of Jackson Hole downtown at 08:34 and the Wilson branch ATM at 09:17) were both canceled — the second was technicians servicing the ATM. Other texture: a commercial duress alarm on Teton Avenue cleared unfounded (00:11), several vehicles claiming to be Ubers parked at the Wells Fargo lot (01:24), a fraud walk-in at the PD lobby (14:57), a false medical alarm on South Lake Creek Drive (16:57), a fall with possible wrist/knee injury on South King Street (18:38), kids knocking on doors and scootering off in the Wildflower Court/Cottonwood area (20:22, juveniles later released to parents), an open-door check on Virginia Lane (21:43), and a Teton Village party noise complaint (22:17). START (TG 1820) and school-bus channels (TG 1812/245) ran routine transfers, detours around a broken-down trailer near Deloney and Willow, and student-pickup logistics; Medic 20 shuttled a medical flight crew and patient between the airport and St. John's through the morning.

By the numbers

• 2,082 transmissions across 607 exchanges (plus 292 short status-only exchanges omitted from the log).
• Busiest talkgroup: TG 1801 Teton County law dispatch (1,226 transmissions); busiest hour: 14:00–15:00 (258).
• Categories: medical 36, records-check 32, plate-check 31, transit 20, traffic-complaint 15, crash 8, traffic-stop 7, fire 6, animal 5, alarm 2, suspicious 1, domestic 1, hazard 1 (plus 210 status and 232 unclassified).

Caveats

• Significant non-Teton traffic in today's log: TG 13751 is Fremont County EMS paging (Lander/Riverton — including a cardiac arrest, two overdoses and two PI-accident pages), TG 109 is statewide WHP, and much of TG 6386/113 traffic concerned I-80, Rock Springs and Evanston incidents (Mustang vs. cow on US-191 south, a FedEx semi off the road after the driver blacked out). These are excluded from the Teton incident log below.
• Zero transmissions logged 03:00–04:00 and near-silence 04:00–06:00 — plausibly a quiet overnight, but a receiver gap can't be ruled out.
• Whisper transcription garbled many unit numbers, names and phonetic plate reads; TG 1812 and TG 245 appear to be school-bus operations channels but are unconfirmed. Lines marked [suspect] and several outcome reports (e.g., the 12:44 US-89 Dodge-vs-semi crash, the PCS citation at 21:05) are low-confidence.
