**Start Date/Time/Location** The 2025 Buffalo Fire was reported on April 11, 2025, at 1350 hours along South Dakota Highway 212 on the Cheyenne River Indian Reservation, approximately two miles northwest of Marksville, South Dakota, north of SD Highway 212 in Dewey County[1][4][5]. **Size and Containment** As of April 18, 2025, the fire has burned 611 acres and is 80% contained[1][4][5]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire quickly spread due to its location in grassland with pockets of shrubs and sage. Despite initial rapid growth, the fire's size has remained stable at 611 acres since its initial report[1][4]. **Containment Efforts** Fire crews, including the Gettysburg Volunteer Fire Department and BIA Wildland Fire Resources, along with volunteer fire departments from Dupree, Trail City, Timber Lake, and Eagle Butte, have been actively patrolling and mopping up the area. The incident command is focusing on securing containment lines and monitoring for hot spots due to shifting winds[1][4].
