South Dakota Wildland Fire works with numerous communities throughout the Black Hills to reduce the risk of wildfire. We do this by reducing fuel loading on 1000 acres annually in and around communities at risk, offering free home assessments, and working with communities to help them become Firewise USA recognized sites.
