Daily Wildfire Report

Quiet Conditions Prevail Across South Dakota With No Active Fires

Wildfire activity across South Dakota is quiet, with no active fires reported statewide.

Conditions and Outlook

No Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches are in effect across South Dakota as a seasonal cold front keeps fire danger low. Cooler temperatures, higher vegetation moisture, and light winds will keep fire potential minimal over the next several days.

Burn Bans and Land Management

Lawrence County lifted its temporary emergency burn ban, though permits remain mandatory south of Interstate 90 in the Black Hills Forest Fire Protection District. Landowners planning fall burns should consult updated state extension guidance on prescribed fire timing for rangelands.
