Last week’s rains aided in the fight against the blaze.

Crews are slowly gaining the upper hand on the Pagami Creek Fire in the BWCA. And more good news: Due to more accurate mapping, the fire’s size has been reduced to 93,459 acres.

It’s not over yet, however. Despite the rainfall of a few days back, the weekend was drier and warmer. This has resulted in some spot fires, but these were anticipated.
Sunday saw bucket drops of water over these areas, as well as a ‘changing of the guard’ amongst fire crews.

For more details and closure info, check out the official InciWeb page for the fire.

And if you’ve been following our Facebook and Twitter pages, you’ve already seen some amazing images from both campers and fire crews. Stay tuned…
