A lightning-sparked wildfire dubbed the Long Two fire has ignited in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, near Pine Lake in Cook County. Though small at just 1.3 acres, crews are treating it with urgency, deploying firefighters, water pumps, and aircraft on standby as they work to contain the flames using the lakeshore as a natural barrier. Operations continue through the holiday weekend as crews focus on establishing a safe access route from the lake. Authorities urge the public to stay away for safety and to avoid unauthorized drone flights, which are illegal and hazardous. No official closures are in place, but the Forest Service is closely monitoring the situation to keep the fire under control.
