Firefighters Offer To Cook for South Dakota Coyotes After Fires

A local fire department had an interesting week with the Coyotes at the University of South Dakota.

The crew with the Vermillion Fire EMS Department spent a lot of time at USD after receiving multiple calls for small cooking fires and overflowing washing machines. Gotta love college!

College is a time when young adults learn how to live on their own while continuing their education. Unfortunately, some USD Coyotes are realizing that "adulting" is not as easy as it seems, especially when it comes to cooking or even doing laundry.

Thanks to the patience of the Vermillion Fire EMS Department, firefighters can laugh at the minor calls they received recently from the Coyotes. Some calls included cooking flammable mini cinnabons, a steak left on the stove, and someone burning Ramen noodles. They posted the results on Facebook.

Firefighters were called four times in one week!

The Vermillion Fire EMS Department is offering to cook for USD Coyotes during their open house on Sunday, October 6th from 2 PM to 5 PM. They will even teach the Coyotes some helpful tips and tricks to avoid small fires and accidents.

People loved that the firefighters can make light out of these situations!

This is hilarious. I bet the first week of college is hard on firestations

This is one of the BEST posts I’ve seen!! Thank you for being there and helping the kids!! You are so appreciated!

Nothing like keeping your local FD in guessing. What can these kids give us today or come up with.

Those poor steaks.

I remember doing laundry for the first time...I was nervous all my clothes would turn pink! Do you remember a funny college memory when you burned food or maybe missed a class because you overslept?

10 Smallest Towns in South Dakota

South Dakota is loaded with small towns in every corner of the state. But where are the smallest towns in the Mount Rushmore state? According to the latest census data, here are the ten smallest towns in all of South Dakota.

The 10 Most Redneck Towns in South Dakota

Are you a 'Redneck?' I guess to some people, all of us in South Dakota are rednecks.

If we use the Jeff Foxworthy Scale of Redneckeness, I have, in fact, been too drunk to fish. So by definition, I am a redneck. And so are many people I know.

Not that being from the country is a bad thing, and it can be fun to poke fun at ourselves.

With that in mind, we found that the folks at RoadSnacks put together a list that claims 'These Are The 10 Most Redneck Cities In South Dakota.'

What is a Redneck?

The dictionary says that a redneck is someone "...who lives in a small town or in the country, especially in the southern U.S., who typically has a working-class job, and who is seen by others as being uneducated and having opinions and attitudes that are offensive."

Well, a few things. First, South Dakota isn't THAT kind of 'south.' We're to the south of North Dakota, but to the north of 'The South.'

Plus that definition sounds awful mean and serious. I thought we were having fun here.

RoadSnacks leaned into the funny, Jeff Foxworthy-based version of a redneck. Then they rounded up select data on places in SD to determine their rankings. RoadSnacks Redneck Criteria:
