Boundary Waters Fires Finally Under Control | Minneapolis News
Description
Big wildfires in the Boundary Waters are finally under control thanks to heavy rain and tireless firefighting efforts. After months of battling flames sparked by lightning, the national firefighting team is packing up and handing responsibility back to local agencies. With 97% containment achieved and most areas reopened to visitors, firefighters have scaled back from over a thousand to just under two hundred. A fuel break along the Echo Trail was built to help prevent future spread, and officials credit community support for getting through this crisis. The immediate threat is gone — though smoldering embers may linger until snowfall.
