Sprinkling Carts Helped Save Prairie Fire in Cheyenne
A prairie fire in Cheyenne during noon hours could not be stopped by four firemen due to hydrant shortages. Locomotive sparks touched dry stockyard groans, wind spread flames toward buildings, bucket brigades failed, and Chief Taylor redirected city sprinkling carts to spray water from hydrants. The sprinklers halted the blaze just before major damage, with no injuries reported.
