Pleasant Valley prescribed fire — updated with video

(UPDATED March 10, 2016: added the video above.)

The South Dakota Wildland Fire Division completed a 244-acre prescribed fire today west of Pringle in the Pleasant Valley Game Production Area. Assisted by firefighters from the U.S. Forest Service and local volunteer fire departments, their objectives were to reduce pine regeneration and encroachment and to improve elk habitat.

Here are a few photos from today’s activities. Later we will add more.
