| Wow, woke up this AM to a nasty burn smell coming in through the windows. Yeck, what the heck is that? Listened to the news for a bit, and it's the smoke from the Pagami Creek forest fire in NE MN carried throughout northern WI on the NW winds. Heard Rhinelander has only 1 mile visibility and some ash is falling throughout NW WI. Hope the fire is controlled and not too much of the forest is burned. |

| Fire is within a wilderness area, BWCAW, and since the fire was started by nauture, lightning, they will continue to let it burn and try and keep it within the wilderness boundaries. Fire will not be delcared out until there is substantial snow on the ground. You probably won't see another ash cloud east of Lk Superior unless the wind is really strong and in a NW direction. We need rain bad over here. |

Location: Maple Grove, MN | Hey, the Twins, T-Wolves and Wild also stink. And don't forget the turkey farms. Nothing smells worse than a turkey farm and we have a lot of those in MN. We have high taxes too. Keeps the riff-raff out.  |

the fire I believe was started by a stupid controlled burn is what I heard and obviously got out of control it is heading west and will be out of the bwca soon I believe if not gotten control of! They said the fire started a month ago by a lightning strike. Only recently with the extremely dry conditions and super low dewpoints with lots of wind did it take off.
100,000 acres so far. It was only like 16,000 on Sunday. |
