| episode_narrative | Hot, dry and windy weather, along with abundant dry fuel left over from winter set the stage and careless campers and an unattended campfire added the spark to start a major wildfire in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The Tower Lake Fire consumed 5,625 acres before it was extinguished. Firefighters and equipment from Montana, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ontario Canada assisted local fire crews in fighting the blaze. 450 people were evacuated from their homes for the more than four days it took to fight the fire. Four firefighters suffered minor injuries and 15 structures were damaged or destroyed. Ten bridges burned and about a million dollars worth of timber went up in smoke. Costs for fighting the blaze exceed one million dollars. Three much smaller forest fires occurred during the same period the Tower Lake Fire was burning. The fire near Gwinn consumed 46 acres with minor damage to a campground at Anderson Lake, The Ishpeming Fire did some minor damage at a golf course and burned 26 acres, and a fire at Little Lake, set by vandals, scorched another 19 acres. |
