The Custer Volunteer Fire Department posted on its Facebook page that firefighters investigated numerous reports of smoke around Custer on Wednesday evening.
We are aware there is a fire in Custer State Park, West of Newcastle and reports of one North of Edgemont so smoke is literally coming from every direction. If you are overly concerned please call the non-emergency dispatch line at 673-8176. If you see flames obviously don’t hesitate to call 911.
