SPEARFISH, SD – The South Dakota Department of Public Safety Wildland Fire Division plans to set up a base at the Spearfish airport for wildland fire suppression.
The Spearfish City Council approved a private hangar ground lease agreement with the department for a 5,000-square-feet area at Black Hills Airport-Clyde Ice Field. The base would be used for “carrying out the business of wildland fire suppression.”
The term of the lease is one year, with a rental sum of $850, based on the 17-cent per square-foot lease fee.
