Moral hazard is driving early wildfire season again. Republicans in South Dakota can't control wind and temperature but they can control fuels. Second growth ponderosa pine is a weed. The faster Rapid City learns that the fewer wildland fires will threaten the Black Hills.
It has been confirmed that the 1900 acre Schroeder Fire near Rapid City started on private land. The Dry Creek Fire, five miles north of Okaton or about nine miles northwest of Murdo is currently estimated at 9,400 acres. A very large range fire is burning in Perkins County.
Round Two is expected today.
