Minnesota wildfires



While I was in Vermont, I first heard about the Pagami Creek Fire in Minnesota that has burned 93,699 acres. It started last month, from a lightening strike. There were evacuations.

Here is a report from WISN on Sept. 19. Bill Gabbert of Wildfire Today reported on the Pagami Creek Fire  on Sept. 21, and Sept. 16, and on Sept. 14.

You will see from Bill's reporting that smoke from this fire had a far reaching impact. In addition, in yesterday's post, he reports on local criticism of the management of the fire.
