Heavy July rains gave only brief relief to Michigan forest fires as conditions soon rose to high hazard. By late July 1,706 fires burned over 24,000 acres, with major blazes near Vanderbilt and in Schoolcraft County. A Isle Royale fire was contained by mainland crews by motor boat. Authorities urge campers and motorists to report small fires immediately and keep suppression crews ready. Predator control shows wolves and coyotes remain limited but predator numbers and under reporting of game killed complicate estimates.
