What affects fire damage around Valley Springs

Wind driven grass fires, farm and outbuilding fires and cold season heating all play a part, and rural properties can be a long way from a fire station. Smoke from brush or wildland fires can reach parts of South Dakota in dry seasons.

Rural homes may rely on a volunteer or district fire department, so damage can be larger by the time crews arrive.
Farm buildings and shops hold fuel, equipment and stored materials that raise the loss.
Heating equipment, wood stoves and chimneys are in heavy use through cold winters.
