Q: Why can't I have a campfire in a designated fire grate on the Superior National Forest?
A: Because vegetation is extremely dry this year and your campfire could unintentionally start a wildfire. Yesterday, two fires were discovered on the Tofte Ranger District and they were caused by illegal campfires. It really happens!!! Campfires are not allowed anywhere on the forest at this time. However, you CAN use gas or propane powered stoves with on/off valves! :)

MORE ON THE TOFTE RD FIRES:
Three fires were detected yesterday between 3 - 4:30 pm on the Tofte Ranger District.
CLARA LAKE FIRE: Reported at .5 acres as the result of an illegal campfire. It is on an island in the lake.
HOMESTEAD LAKE FIRE: Reported at .25 acre as the result of an illegal campfire. It is a quarter mile SE of Homestead Lake.
TOMILSON CREEK FIRE: Reported at .5 acres. The fire is 1 mile NW of Dumbell Lake and was caused by a lightning strike.
STATUS: Crews are working to contain the fires. Each fire is staffed with an engine module ( 5 firefighters). A type 2 helicopter is being used to support the crews with water drops.

The simple ways of nature
Calm my anxious soul.”

Last Thursday, we collared Wolf V077 who was an 80 lb 2-3 year old male. He was collared in the Moonshadow territory but we are monitoring his movements to see where he goes and if he is part of the pack or a lone wolf.
