Crosby Fire 95% contained; hiking trail to reopen Thursday morning

In what will be their final update on the Crosby Fire, the Minnesota Incident Command System (MNICS) said the 300-acre fire is now 95% contained.

While the fire is now 95% contained, MNICS said firefighters will still be working in the area and visitors may still notice smoke. MNICS said this is not cause for alarm and 911 should not be called if smoke from the Crosby Fire is seen or smelled.

The closed portion of the Superior Hiking Trail between Caribou Falls State Wayside Rest along Minnesota State Highway 61 to the County Road 7 (Cramer Road) access points will reopen on Thursday at 8 a.m.

MNICS said it will no longer provide updates on the Crosby Fire.
