Wildfires continue to burn in northern Minnesota and Canada, affecting the air quality throughout Minnesota and prompting evacuations and closures. More than 70,000 acres in and around the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness have burned so far and the wilderness remains completely closed. Firefighters are warning that because of dry conditions and how remote these fires are, they could burn for months. Around 700 firefighters are working to contain the flames.
