An intense lighting storm moved through the southern Black Hills in South Dakota Tuesday night, starting at least seven fires. One lightning bolt struck a barbed wire fence west of Hot Springs and started four fires over a 1/2 mile stretch of the fence.
The Minnekahta Volunteer Fire Department and some State of South Dakota engines responded, suppressing all four fires before they burned more than 1/10 of an acre.
The other fires were also suppressed quickly.
