Two new fires were discovered Monday, U.S. Forest Service officials said.
The Ima Fire, about five miles west of Snowbank, and the Slowfoot Fire, about one mile southeast of the 62-acre Delta Lake Fire east of Ely, were being assessed and monitored Tuesday.
âI talked to someone in Ely this morning and they didn t get any rain from last night s (Monday evening) storm,â Joanna Gilkeson, U.S. Forest Service public affairs specialist said. âFrom what I m seeing, the rain is really spotty, so we re not getting rain in the spots we need.â
Wildfires, all suspected to be lightning-caused, are popping up daily in the northern reaches of Minnesota.
But wildfires can.
Wildfire officials are bracing for potentially three Canadian wildfires to cross the border into Minnesota s Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW).
âToday is a very critical day for us because the weather is so unstable,â Catherine Koele, a U.S. Forest Service information officer said Monday. âIt s a pivotal day for us because it s all weather driven.â
Canadian fires north of Ely in the Crooked Lake area are of the most concern currently, Koele said.
âThey re about 20 miles north of Ely,â Koele said. âThe fires are in Quetico Provincial Park. We re in assessment for any fires that reach the border. We are in communication with Ontario. We do have a great relationship right now, but the biggest challenge is that we are in a national preparedness level five and the resources are thin.â
