| episode_narrative | A forest fire started by arson became the largest fire in recorded history of the Black Hills as high winds pushed the fire northward from Custer County into Pennington County. By the time the fire was contained in early September, 83,500 acres had been burned. The burn area had a very dry summer, and when the fire started, daytime relative humidities were dropping to near 10 percent each day. Very strong winds on August 26 caused the fire to grow from 4,700 acres to nearly 50,000 acres in a 24 hour period. A total of 1200 firefighters were part of the suppression and containment effort, and prevented homes from being destroyed. Three outbuildings were destroyed and two homes had minor damage. |
