Some good news on the #greenwoodfire in NE Minn. Latest estimate from thermal imaging camera is 8,862 acres, meaning it didn't grow in last 24hrs. Clark McCreedy with the interagency incident mgmt team tells @MPRnews higher humidity, lower temps, cloud cover are helping.
McCreedy also says local volunteer fire departments really stepped up to protect cabins & homes along Hwy 2 as the fire spread. No injuries reported & no buildings burned.
Also good news on the John Ek & Whelp fires in the BWCA. Sarah Shapiro with the U.S. Forest Service tells @MPRnews that John Ek is at 727 acres (down from 1500 Sat) based on better info from thermal cameras. Whelp remains at 50 acres. Weather is cooperating.
