Overview
- Crews installed a hose lay on the east side to pump water and mop up smoldering stumps and downed logs along the containment line.
- Helicopters and water‑scooping aircraft are supporting ground operations, and any drone sightings would immediately halt those flights.
- A segment of the Superior Hiking Trail between Caribou Falls State Wayside and Lake County Road 7 remains closed as a precaution, while the state park stays open.
- About 32 Minnesota Department of Natural Resources wildland firefighters are assigned to the incident each day.
- Northwest winds recently drove about 50 acres of growth, and light rain in the forecast is expected to help suppression without fully putting the fire out.
