Republican counties see fire weather again


With drought threatening, the High Plains are seeing another day of elevated fire weather predominantly in the counties that voted for a mad king and his stochastic terrorism. Wind Cave National Park, the Bureau of Land Management and Black Hills National Forest plan prescribed burns this week and next to reduce fuel loads.

After advice from an interested party the BLM has postponed its prescribed burn in the Schenk Canyon area in the southern Hills. Fort Meade and Ruby Hills burns still planned for this week.
