BEMIDJI, Minn. From what Beltrami County Sheriff Ernie Beitel can tell us, the fire that burned 75 to 80 acres Tuesday night in Eckles Township was a sight to behold. The fire was reported to be on both sides of the road and it spread to the Southside, Sheriff Beitel said. We did have a north wind that was pushing things southward, the area just south of this is a housing development area, fairly new, that is still expanding - a lot of homes in this area. As this fire quickly moved, the DNR issued a voluntary evacuation of those homes.
