Wildfires are burning in the Superior National Forest and the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCAW), with reports of 20 active wildfires and a significant fire in the BWCAW growing to 700 acres. The total area affected by the wildfires is unclear, with estimates ranging widely. The situation has led to a closure order for the BWCAW, which may be partially lifted if conditions improve, although the order is currently extended until October.
