2021 wildfire season: Greenwood Fire (September 14th)

 I was scanning the Eastern Area Coordination Center this morning, noting the large number of wildland fire fighters from the eastern area and elsewhere that were or still are deployed to the Greenwood Fire in northeastern Minnesota in the Superior National Forest. fire including but not limited to fire crews, engines and modules from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Montana, Arkansas, New Hampshire, Minnesota. Wisconsin, Utah, Illinois, Wyoming, Michigan, Iowa, and Maryland.

I had written a couple of posts in August on the Greenwood fire, see for example my August 25th and August 27th posts. Here is some updated information on the Greenwood Fire from Inciweb: at the time I write this the fire has burned 26,797 acres and is at 75% containment, at least some roads in the area are open and some evacuation orders remain in place. Fourteen residences and 57 outbuildings have been destroyed. There is a report on the Greenwood Fire from CBS3Duluth (September 14) and some images of the area burned.
