The Minnesota Incident Command System reports that firefighters continue to work on building the containment line.
As smoldering hotspots are detected along the containment line, the firefighters work to extinguish the heat and pump water into the area. With chances for rain in the day, reports say that when the hose lay is installed along the east, firefighters will be able to complete the task of mopping hotspots – stumps, downed logs, or any vegetation that continues to hold heat.
A portion of the Superior Hiking Trail within the George H. Crosby Manitou State Park remains temporarily closed due to the Crosby Fire. The trail is closed between Caribou Falls State Wayside Rest along Minnesota State Highway 61 to the Lake County Road 7 (Cramer Road) access points. The state park remains open.
The authorities still ask the public not to fly a drone anywhere near the wildfire.
