South Dakota firefighters battling a blaze on Black Hills, which briefly forced the closure of the Mount Rushmore National Memorial and prompted the evacuation of hundreds of homes, made progress overnight.
Authorities said Monday that the fire was human-caused. In an update on Thursday, the firefighters wrote that dry and windy conditions that have helped stoke the flames were expected again. They also said that while they have worked to extinguish "hot spots near structures," the area is under a Red Flag Warning through Thursday night.More Related News
