Wildfire activity in northern Minnesota has increased and the Delaware Forest Service has mobilized its Type 6 Wildland Fire Engine and a crew of three wildland firefighters -Engine Boss Adam Keever, Engine Boss Jim Charney, and Firefighter Type II Ryan Brown.

The Bear Trap Fire was first reported on July 7, but has merged with the Dark Fire and now burned over 34,500 acres.

The Delaware crew left Saturday morning and will be mobilized for 14 days in support of the ongoing firefighting and structure-protection operations in the Superior National Forest.
