RAPID CITY, S.D. – Firefighters on Wednesday had another day of good progress battling the Schroeder Fire just to the west of Rapid City.
They conducted several successful burnout operations, which improved fire lines by removing unburned fuel between the line and the main body of the fire.
Those operations slightly increased the fire’s acreage to 2,195 acres. Containment remains at 47%.
A glow from these recently burned areas was visible from communities near the fire overnight.
