S.D. Firefighter Landowner Suspects Arson as Large Wildfire Cause April 26, 2021
A former wildland firefighter who owns the land where a burn pile ignited a large wildfire near Rapid City says he believe the blaze was intentionally set.
In a 60-page report, the landowner told investigators he was “100% sure the burn pile fire was completely out.” The landowner says he’s experienced two suspicious fires since buying the property in 2018.
The Schroeder Fire broke out the morning of March 29 and burned about 3.5 square miles (9 square kilometers).
At least one home and two outbuildings were destroyed in the fire. More than 150 personnel responded to the fire that caused more than 400 people to evacuate their homes near Rapid City and closed Mount Rushmore.

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) - A former wildland firefighter who owns the land where a burn pile ignited a large wildfire near Rapid City says he believe the blaze was intentionally set.
In a 60-page report, the landowner told investigators he was “100% sure the burn pile fire was completely out.” The landowner says he’s experienced two suspicious fires since buying the property in 2018.
The Schroeder Fire broke out the morning of March 29 and burned about 3.5 square miles (9 square kilometers).
The owner of the land where investigators say the Schroeder Fire ignited in a slash pile is a former wildland firefighter who believes the blaze began with an arson.
“We have reason to believe the Schroeder Fire was caused intentionally, by an unrelated third party,” the owner wrote in a written statement cited in a 60-page investigative report.
“I am 100% sure the burn pile fire was completely out,” he said.
The Schroeder Fire broke out around 9:22 a.m. on March 29 at 8875 Schroeder Road, about four miles west of Rapid City, according to the report by a private fire investigator.
All evidence points to the fire being caused by a large permitted slash pile lit March 16 on the property that wasn’t completely put out once the snow melted and the fire began on an incredibly windy day, according to investigator Todd Hedglin.
