Size: On the island the fire is estimated at twelve to thirteen acres; the spot fire on the mainland
was held to one tenth of an acre. The mainland portion of the fire is contained. The rest of the fire
is confined to the island.
Personnel: 8 crew members are on site now. Personnel will be reduced, but crews will continue
to monitor and take appropriate actions for the next few days.
Visitor Impacts: Visitors may see and smell smoke on the eastern portion of Disappointment
Lake during the next few days. One campsite (#10—the eastern most site) on Disappointment
Lake is closed at this time. All BWCAW entry points, portages, travel routes, and hiking trails
remain open.
