Fire south of Cascade, SD, July 16, 2012. Photo by Bill Gabbert
Monday night there was a shitload of lightning in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota, which may have been the cause of a fire burning a couple of miles west of Cascade. This fire had probably burned a few dozen acres when I arrived, but it slowed down when a few sprinkles hit it. The lightning did not slow down, however.

Anymore news on how this fire is?? Is it contained? It hasn’t been in the newspaper… Thanks for updates, my family lives on the east side, close to the fire.

Hi Bill-As usual, your site is THE BEST!! Had a s++++++d of lightning again last night-one small fire by our house. We got the truck to it before it got to trees thank goodness. Can’t imagine how many firefighters were up AGAIN all night-what a year….
