Fire crews and equipment are being released from the Four Mile Fire in Custer State Park, which was fully contained Wednesday, to fight other wildfires breaking out across the western United States.

Eight 20-person hand crews, equipment and managerial officials are being released, according to a news release from the Northern Great Plains Fire Information Center. Nationally, 204 fires broke out Wednesday.

Firefighters from the Four Mile Fire are being made available for local and national response.

By the close of operations today, 461 personnel, aircraft and equipment will be available for reassignment.

The Four Mile Fire, which began Monday, grew to 2,360 acres before it was contained.

Visitors to the park could still see smoke coming from the fire area because areas of unburned fuel within the containment area will continue to burn, according to the release. That smoke is normal and should not be a cause for alarm, according to fire officials.

Firefighters are continuing mop-up operations, ensuring the edges of the fire are fully extinguished, and will continue to patrol the fire.

On Wednesday, Custer State Park reopened several roads that had been closed due to the fire. However, all roads within the fire perimeter remain closed, in addition to a section of Wildlife Loop Road from Blue Bell Entrance Station to the west side of CSP 3 (Oak Draw).

Visitors to the park are advised that fire equipment will be departing from the fire while some will continue to operate in the area. Drivers should use caution while driving in the area.

With this being the first major fire for the area this season, local and visitors to the state for the rest of the summer are encouraged to be cautious with fire and reminded to check for any fire restrictions that may be in effect.
