Firefighters Set 6 P.M. Target To Contain Minnesota Forest Blaze
A windless spell and rain chances raised hopes of halting a vast wildfire in the Boundary Waters area. Some 380 volunteers and 245 Forest Service personnel fought the blaze over six square miles, with 3 000 acres burned Sunday and total damages pegged at 844000 dollars. A tractor accident injured one worker, and officials warned peat beneath the surface may smolder for weeks even after surface flames stop. The fire, man caused, started near Ely after logging operations.
