## Resource

Wildfires rage across 64,000 acres in northeastern Minnesota as nearly 1,000 firefighters battle flames, with some areas reopening but evacuations and fire restrictions still active. Recent thunderstorms brought welcome rain and cooler temps, slowing fire spread. Crews focus on uncontained zones, building fire lines, and using water sources to contain the blaze. Local tourism—especially for Boundary Waters outfitters—is hit hard, with recovery slow amid safety measures. Officials urge caution: no drones near fire zones, avoid lakes where aircraft are scooping water, and campfires are only permitted in designated spots. While the Chub Fire is at 96% containment, the Bear Trap Fire remains a major concern as crews work tirelessly to extinguish hotspots and protect the region.
