Blaze In Minnesota

Officials with a U.S. park in Minnesota are expressing appreciation to the Ministry of Natural Resources.

A crew out of Fort Frances was dispatched to deal with a small fire located within Voyageurs National Park, on the U.S. side of Rainy Lake.

Information Officer Heather Pridham says the crew's response kept the fire becoming a major blaze.

Pridham says firefighters stayed with the blaze overnight.

She says the response outlines the great partnership they have with their neighbours south of the border.
