Five Wildfires Spark Concern in Boundary Waters | Duluth News

Five wildfires are currently active in the Superior National Forest, with four nestled inside the sensitive Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The largest, the Camp Fire, is just a couple of acres and burning north of Ely, while the others—Bear Trap, Thumb, Section 3 Pond, and Newton—are tiny, mostly under an acre, and likely sparked by lightning or single tree strikes. Fire crews are on the ground assessing each spot to prevent spread, and officials are urging the public to stay away from affected zones for safety. Drones are strictly banned near fire operations and in the Boundary Waters. More updates will follow as crews refine their containment strategy.
