Boundary Waters Fires Still Active | Duluth News

Wildfires in the Boundary Waters have exploded to over 55,000 acres—roughly the size of Washington, D.C.—with smoke and calm weather temporarily slowing the blaze but also grounding firefighting aircraft. No new evacuations, but “go” zones remain closed. In Cook County, the Gunflint Trail’s end is under “set orange” alert, while other areas are “ready.” St. Louis County Sheriff Gordon Ramsay is focusing on remote water-access cabins, preparing to notify residents if zones expand. Winds shifted the fire south the day before, but conditions have stabilized as crews brace for any weather break to fight the flames.
