RAPID CITY, S.D. — Rapid City area fire crews knocked down a grass fire in a wheat field off of Highway 44 east of Rapid City Regional Airport Thursday.
Fire officials say the fire burned 110 acres across a narrow stretch of land estimated to be about a mile long.
Joe Tjaden Rapid Valley Fire Chief, says the fire was started by a piece of agricultural equipment that struck a rock, igniting nearby dry vegetation.
The fie spread across multiple properties but no structures or vehicles were lost.
