We checked out the Fork Fire west of Custer, SD, and the Glenerin fire east of Custer this afternoon and shot some photos. The Fork Fire was pretty quiet and had a fire line around it. There was still some interior burning going on and quite a bit of mop-up left to do, but thanks to the good work of the firefighters the prognosis is good.
These first photos are of the Fork Fire. The Glenerin photos are farther down.

Can’t say enough about the volunteer fire departments that were running their butts off to respond to all the fires, and to the multi-agency cooperation that occurs in our area. I’m grateful to everyone, even the non-fire entities (such as Search and Rescue) who respond so quickly to help and give selflessly of their time.

I was in that area on Monday—missed all the excitement, but probably road closures, etc. too. What a year for the southern Black Hills.
