South Dakota Wildland Fire Division
The South Dakota Wildland Fire Division will be burning approximately 10 acres of small slash piles this week in the Terry Peak (northern Black Hills) area. The purpose of burning slash is to reduce the hazardous fuels which are created by thinning projects. Smoke may be visible and smoldering material may continue to burn for several days. Firefighters will continue to monitor and check the piles until they are extinguished.
