New blazes keep firefighters busy

Keith Vandervort REGIONAL Wildland fires are continuing to keep officials on the Superior National Forest busy this summer. Just as the Forest Service announced it was lifting closures put in place for the Delta Fire, near the Fernberg Road east of Ely, they began water drops on two new fires while they continue to monitor several other new blazes, reported in the wake of thunderstorms that hit the area last Friday and again on Monday. While rains associated with that storm provided temporary relief from the very high fire danger, last weekend’s hot, dry, and windy weather quickly elevated fire conditions and increased fire activity with the new ignitions.

Wildfire officials keeping an eye on Canadian fires

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). “Today is a very critical day for us because the weather is so unstable,” Catherine Koele, a U.S. Forest Service information officer said Monday. “It s a pivotal day for us because it s all weather driven.” Canadian fires north of Ely in the Crooked Lake area are of the most concern currently, Koele said. “They re about 20 miles north of Ely,” Koele said. “The 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.”

Fires in Canada force closures within the BWCA

Anyone heading into the BWCA should be aware of very high fire dangers. Fire managers have identified two fires that have the potential to spread across the border. Officials say the closures in the BWCAW will remain in effect for at least seven days or until it is safe to open the area again.
