DULUTH, MN (KDAL) – Fire investigators visited the Spice Lake fire area this weekend and made an initial determination that the fire was human caused and remains under investigation.
The fire, discovered last Tuesday, is now 22 acres in size and 65 percent contained.
Crews are continuing to get a fire line around the perimeter of the blaze and are working to extinguish hot spots and heavy fuel areas.
A portion of the BWCA in the area of the fire remains closed and campfire restrictions are still in effect across much of northern Minnesota as dry conditions continue.
Gunflint Trail businesses north of Grand Marais, MN remain open during the suppression of the Spice Lake Fire.
