South Dakota Wildfire Awareness Month is planned by interagency cooperation and was created to promote wildfire awareness, safety and prevention through public events held throughout South Dakota to remind citizens of the dangers of wildland fire and the simple steps that should be followed to prepare for and prevent them. This year South Dakota has joined a multi-state proclamation with eleven other states in promoting Wildfire Awareness during the month of May.
