episode_narrativeThe fire started with a lightning strike on August 18th 13 miles east of Ely in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness. The fire smoldered and remained at a half acre for seven days, then the fire grew to 130 acres after 12 days. On September 12 gusty, dry winds of 35 knots and very low relative humidity of 18% spread the fire 16 miles to the east. The fire ended up covering 150 square miles, or 92,682 acres. By October 22 the fire was 93% contained and unstaffed. The cost of suppression was $22.3 million. There was little property damage as the fire occurred in uninhabited federal land. However, many campers had to be evacuated. This was the biggest fire in Minnesota history since the historic Cloquet Fire of 1918.
