What affects fire damage around Monroe

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.

Lightning and storm season electrical fires strike in spring and summer.
Wind can push grass and field fires toward homes and outbuildings.
Rural homes may rely on a volunteer or district fire department, so damage can be larger by the time crews arrive.
