Wildfires in Minnesota's Superior National Forest have forced the closure of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and prompted evacuations near Ely. Extreme heat and dry conditions have caused the fires to spread rapidly, with smoke expected to impact air quality across the state.
Smoke from the wildfires burning in northern Minnesota and across the border in Canada is expected to affect much of the state this week, according to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
