Forest Fires flare up again but not near us

In 1981, Jeff Ciesar and Larry the Legend were the first guys to fly into Telescope after the fire swept past the cabin. The fire crew on site kept the fire at bay with sprinklers, so the cabin was safe. Behind the cabin though the fire had burned even the moss and duff, leaving lots of bare rock. The MNR said they needed a caretaker and so they were lucky to have John Blaszczyk (JB) join them for a week of fishing.
This year, when they saw smoke in the air, they knew it was a long ways away. They also knew they would be fine on the lake. This week a few fires have started up again and there is smoke in the air again.
Our cabins are safe.  Fishing is Grand

Please send comments and suggestions. I will try to answer questions about ice out, the weather, fishing and the Red Lake area.
