Overview
- The Stewart Trail Fire was held at 355 acres as containment reached 62% Monday.
- Incident reports attributed the ignition to a power line north of Two Harbors.
- Officials counted 34 structures destroyed, including eight homes and 26 outbuildings.
- Lake County narrowed evacuation zones as U.S. Highway 61 stayed closed between the Stewart River and the Silver Cliff Tunnel, with escorted property access offered to residents.
- About 77 firefighters continued mop-up and patrol, with aircraft cooling flare-ups and a temporary flight ban protecting air work as cooler, wetter weather helped.
