WATERTOWN, S.D. – Several campers were destroyed in a fire early Tuesday at the Spilde Campground, about 20 miles south of Watertown, S.D.
Hamlin County Emergency Management Director Dave Schafer says the fire began shortly after severe thunderstorms rolled through the area.
“It burned extremely, extremely fast” Schafer said. “There were a number of campers, boats, recreational vehicles and just regular vehicles that all burned in the fire.”
One dog was injured in the fire. It’s not clear if the fire was sparked by lightning.
