(Hill City, SD) — A boat bursts into flames on Sheridan Lake, sending firefighters into the water yesterday afternoon. The boat explosion led to a quick response from the Hill City Volunteer Fire Department. Firefighters hitched a ride with Pennington County deputies on a sheriff’s boat, then swam to the burning vessel, tied it off, and towed it back to the dock where crews were waiting to put out the fire. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported.
