GRAND RAPIDS, Minn.- Hotspots along Highway 61 North of Silver Bay are still being monitored Sunday by fire crews from six different area fire departments, Minnesota DNR Fire and Air assets, and Lake County Rescue squad, among other responders. The cause remains under investigation.
The multiple fires have burned an estimated 45 acres, according to the the Minnesota Interagency Fire Center.
Highway 61 was closed in both directions from Silver Bay, Minn., to Illgen City, Minn. The highway was closed due to smoky conditions and aircraft activity supporting the fire, including dipping for water out of Lake Superior.
