Two separate fires burned most of the day on March 29 in Keystone.
The Keystone Fire began around 10 a.m. While the official cause of the fire is unknown, at least one business at the Rushmore Mall was told the fire began due to embers from a burn pile legally burned during last week’s snowfall.
That same business was notified that evacuations might take place due to the 244 Fire; however, no businesses were in fact evacuated. Rushmore Mall is the closest commercial area to Mount Rushmore.
