Rapid City, S.D., September 29, 2021 – Firefighters worked throughout the night to supress the Hat Mountain wildfire. As of 12:00 p.m. today, there is a combination of hand line, dozer line and hose lay completely around the fire. Fire officials anticipate having 100% containment by late this afternoon.

 The fire area is at 36 acres. Air resources have been released and crews will continue mop-up operations today and into the next few days to ensure the fire is put out.

 “The quick response and excellent relationships with our interagency partners resulted in the successful outcome of minimizing impacts and protecting homes in the area,” said Josh Morgan, Fire Management Officer for the Mystic Ranger District. "The change in weather also played a key role in getting around this fire as quick as we did."

 The fire was reported at 2:42 pm yesterday north of Johnson Siding, approximately 8 miles west of Rapid City.  It was burning south of Bogus Jim Road and west of Norris Peak Road near Forest Service Road 721.
