人算不如天算。界限水域大火。

Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness BWCA 界限水域大火

准备了一个多月，来到界限水域的那天，正好开始森林大火，而且是在我们出发的那个海鸥湖上。飞机在头上飞了两天，后来我们才走远了。非常好玩的四天四夜（本来要玩六天五夜的，但受了点儿伤，提前出来了，相机也掉水里不灵了）。回来一看新闻，大火还没有灭。这里先上几张森林大火的照片。还有晚霞。


第一天：大火


第二天：救火的飞机


飞机从头上飞过。不能说是在远离人群的野外了。呵呵

请留意【阿姗影记】，今日将有很多新照片。

Firefighters to get close to BWCA blaze

Firefighters battling a blaze in the northern Minnesota wilderness plan to work "on the black" today -- meaning at the edge of the fire -- for the first time since the flames erupted July 30.

The move signals the growing confidence among crews two weeks into their fight against a fire that has consumed more than 2 square miles of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness (BWCA).

"Tomorrow they will get up close and personal," Dewey Hanson, a spokesman for the Minnesota Interagency Fire Center in Grand Rapids, Minn., said Sunday.

Firefighters may get some help from the weather today. Forecasters are calling for a 20 percent chance of rain, but they also are predicting that wind speeds may rise to 20 miles per hour.

Crews also will have to watch for the danger of falling trees, known as snags, as they work among the blackened areas of the wilderness. One such tree perched near a boat landing crashed Sunday just as two firefighters pulled up to the shore. The tree destroyed their craft and sent them splashing into the lake. Neither was seriously hurt, Hanson said.

The fire was 35 percent contained Sunday, up from 26 percent on Friday, according to the fire center. Containment means that it is unlikely, but still possible, that the fire could spread, Hanson said.

Firefighters have cut back their use of three Bombardier CL-215 water tankers. On Sunday, only one plane dropped 17 loads of water at 1,400 gallons a drop. The planes were making up to a combined 200 drops a day at the height of the blaze, Hanson said.

Canadian officials, meanwhile, plan to fly today over an area of the Quetico Provincial Park, where smoke-spotters reported fresh blazes. It is not yet known whether they pose a threat of combining with the Alpine Lake fire already underway.

On Sunday, 18 campsites remained closed, but all BWCA entry points were open.
