Prairie Fires Spur Firefighters Across Plains Threats
A large delegation of firefighters rushed Saturday to the south and west of town with two chemical engines to subdue prairie fires along the railroad. Despite the heat, the blaze was contained with nominal damage and a sense of relief, as officials blame passing engines for some fires while railroads claim compliance with laws. Also noted are South Dakota hunting laws and penalties, plus a separate incident near the camp south of town with a demonstration for visitors.
