Progress Made on Wood Lake Fire Containment

Firefighters have achieved 25% containment of the Wood Lake Fire, holding steady at 27 acres, in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness near Ely, Minnesota. The efforts come after the fire was discovered on Tuesday, with no growth reported between Saturday and Sunday. Higher humidity has aided firefighting efforts, allowing crews to strengthen containment lines and employ low intensity burning techniques. Additional help has arrived from Connecticut, amidst a national strain on firefighting resources due to widespread fires. Local authorities remain vigilant against potential weather challenges, with warmer temperatures and low chances of significant rainfall forecasted for the coming week.

Thousands of Minnesotans start their day with Daily Duluth

“Reading the newsletter has become a really positive daily habit for me. I read it while drinking my coffee and planning the day. It saves me a ton of time, but it's really enjoyable too. It's great to have the news filtered down to just a handful of critical events everyday that actually matters to me. I also like reading the community profiles. They interview people locally like teachers, politicians, and small business owners. It's hard to find this anywhere else.”

“I'm a senior citizen here in Duluth, and this newsletter is like a lifeline. I don't have the attention span these days to read the paper, and Facebook is a mess. This newsletter keeps me informed, without taking the whole day from me.”

Retiree

“I like how this newsletter keeps me connected with our community. It's great to have a dedicated source that focuses on what's going on locally. So many news companies are focused on huge attention-grabbing national headlines. But, besides the entertainment value, it's not really relevant to my day-to-day. Also it's great the newsletter is free.”

Easton E.

Business Owner

“I'm a parent, and it's apparent how busy that makes me. I LOVE newspapers (especially the smell), but I never have time to read it anymore. So thank god this newsletter exists, and I can read it in a few minutes. If anything is really critical or catches my eye, I can always spend more time reading into each piece of news, but it isn't usually necessary.”

“I moved away a few years ago. I use Daily Duluth to keep one foot in the town I grew up in, and my friends and family continue to live in. It keeps me connected to my hometown, and I look forward to reading it quickly every morning.”
