WIND CAVE NATIONAL PARK, S.D. –The Cold Brook Fire is now 80% contained. The large increase in containment from this morning is due to the vigilance of fire crews and improved weather conditions. Despite the forecast for rain, there was only a trace amount of precipitation on the fireground today. Increased relative humidity and decreased temperatures helped control the spread of fire today, but it was the response of initial resources from several agencies Monday evening that had the biggest impact in the last 48 hours.
