Mock fire evacuation planned for next week

Posted:

As we enter wild fire season, area law enforcement agencies are preparing for the worst.
 
On May 8th, the Pennington county Sheriff's office, the Rapid City Police Department and Forest service, in conjunction with various other local law enforcement agencies, will participate in a large scale evacuation exercise.

The exercise will give agencies a chance to practice their procedures in the event of a large scale forest fire.

As part of on-going emergency training, the agencies will gauge the effectiveness of the evacuation and educate members of the public on proper emergency procedures.
 
The training exercise will take place on highway 16 between Keystone and Hill city.
