Wildfire conditions in northern Minnesota are easing, with evacuation orders downgraded from “go” to “set” — meaning residents should stay ready — starting Sunday evening. St. Louis County follows suit, with “set” zones moving to “ready” and “ready” zones now clear. Though fires have scorched over 64,000 acres nationwide — including the 38,000-acre Bear Trap fire (38% contained) and the 17,000-acre Thumb fire (56% contained) — officials urge caution as conditions can change fast. A major win: the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is reopening for day trips Monday — a rare move given the shutdown last week. While not fully over, this is a crucial step toward relief for communities and the wilderness.
