A fire is listed here when it is located in South Dakota. Each complex is counted once, through its parent: the parent carries the complex's acres, and its member fires are listed beneath it without being counted again. A fire that crossed the border is listed with the acres that burned in South Dakota, not its whole reported size. A fire located elsewhere that burned into South Dakota is listed too, at its South Dakota acres, and is not added to the South Dakota fire counts.
