Last updated: 2025-03-16 --- The type of incident is Wildfire and involves the following unit(s) Cheyenne River Agency. --- State: South Dakota --- Coordinates: Latitude: 44° 39 15 Longitude: 101° 59 02 --- NOTE: All fire perimeters and points are approximations. --- Incident Overview: On March 10, 2025, at approximately 1015 hours, two fires were reported along BIA Route 13 on Cheyenne River Indian Reservation.  These fires merged becoming the Route 13 Fire.  A third fire, Northside Fire, was reported at 1049 hours.  Overnight the fires merged into one Fire, Route 13 Fire.  The fire behavior, conditions, and winds prompted the evacuation of Takini School and Community on March 10, 2025.  UpdateThe Route 13 Fire was tested with the sustained high winds on Friday and again today with the critical fire weather conditions.  A burn out was done to secure a hot spot that was resistant to control.   The crews will continue to mop up and address hot spots using aviation as conditions allow.  A Type 3 Helicopter and the South Dakota National Guard (SDNG) Type 1 Blackhawk Helicopters are available to address hot spots and map the fire perimeter.   It was too windy today to utilize the aircraft for control, but the Incident Command was able to do reconnaissance on the fire. The SDNG Type 1 helicopters dropped 20 buckets of water on the fire on Thursday, March 13, 2025.  At 660 gallons a bucket, this was approximately 26,000 gallons of water used to address the slop over.  The Type 3 helicopter is more agile and carries a 140-gallon bucket.Please keep drones grounded- IF YOU ARE FLYING THEY CANNOT!   The Incident command is still reviewing the potential to do some block burns around the Takini Community to create a good Wildland Urban Interface Hazardous Fuels Reduction should conditions and resources allow.  The main criteria are community acceptance and winds out of the west. The Incident Command would like to thank the Takini and surrounding Communities for their continued support.A Burned Area Emergency Response assessment is being done, working with other Agencies and personnel to determine future needs. Enning Volunteer Fire Department provided initial response joined by BIA Wildland Fire resources along with Dupree, Faith, Isabel, Timber Lake, and Eagle Butte Volunteer Fire Departments.  Additional resources are ordered by High Plains Zone Fire Management Officer at the request of the Incident Commander.  There were numerous other Volunteer Fire Departments who assisted Cheyenne River on Monday and Tuesday.  The fire had at least 135 personnel at one point. Thank you to all.
