Fire in Seney Refuge Burns 19000 Acres in Upper Peninsula
A small lightning fire in Michigan's Seney National Wildlife Refuge burns through 19000 acres as the Forest Service maintains a policy of allowing natural burns to self-extinguish. The Michigan DNR seeks $100000 from the federal government for firefighting costs and may pursue damages for about 7000 acres of state land along the refuge border. Federal officials defend the decision, citing no threat to valuable resources or populated areas.
