We woke up to smoke hanging over the lake today. The fire that is closest to our home is partially contained and the firefighters are really doing a great job at beating it back. The fire near Duck Lake and Pike Lake about 30 miles from here is now over 21,000 acres and has crossed another road. The Tacquamanon Falls visitors center and campgrounds have been evacuated and are closed due to smoke. Folks have been evacuated from the area and the Red Cross is asking for help with pain meds and personal care items for the firefighters. They are also asking for snacks for the fighters.
Prayers needed for all these hard working heroes and the ones who are fighting the fires in New Mexico.
They are getting prepared to do a back-burn on the west side of the Duck Lake Fire.
There are crews from Wisconsin and Minnesota here helping to fight our fires, as well as 11 local fire departments.
No pictures at this time.
More later.
Sorry to hear so much is being destroyed, wish was closer to bring supplies for the brave firefighters. Will pray for ALL of you to be safe.
