Original Story: Fire destroyed a cabin at 3311 Yale-Kilgore Road in Island Park early Christmas morning.
The Fremont County Sheriff’s Office said the fire was reported at around 2:53 a.m. Sunday at a cabin owned by David Beck.
Island Park Fire District Chief Nathaniel Brandenihl said the fire apparently started as a chimney fire that spread into the roof of the cabin by the time firefighters arrived.
Around 11 people were in the cabin at the time of the fire. One 21-year-old male was transported to Madison Memorial Hospital for back injuries. There were no other reported injuries.
The Sheriff’s Office said the cabin was built within the past year.
