Fire Within Voyageurs National Park

Park officials are monitoring a lightning caused fire within Voyageurs National Park.

The fire, approximately half-an-acre in size, is burning near Tooth Lake, about 2 miles south of Namakan Lake.

It was first detected Sunday.

Because of the area's remoteness and the fact there's few values at risk, the park says it won't be doing any immediate suppression efforts.
