re:Nearly 600 firefighters working BWCA wildfire

About a month ago a huge wildfire began in northeastern Minnesota, about 600 firefighters are working on it currently and have managed to contain it and extinguish about 19 percent of it. Heavier than expected rain in the past weeks have allowed the firefighters to make substantial progress in it but much of the forests were burned or are still burning. The wildfire was apparently caused by a bolt of lightning striking the dry underbrush and igniting the leaves, 147 square miles have already been burned and the fire is heading back towards the boundary waters area. Firemen are currently using every tool and vehicle at their disposal to combat this fire but the damage has already become severe.
