Forest leaders say the burning is in heavy vegetation that is difficult to access.

Due to this, crews are using both aerial and ground tactics to put out the fire.

According to officials, the fire is currently creeping on the ground with one to two-foot flame lengths.

At this time, there are no closures or prohibited campfires stemming from the fire.

Can't find links but they have this fire whipped. I heard yesterday that it was 85% contained.

May the rivers be crooked and winding, and your portages lonesome, leading to the most amazing view.

With todays rain I’m guessing the fire is out.
