Just wondering how the air quality is up in the B-Dub this past week? Is their much smoke? Or are these fires not particularly large? Thanks for any info! We're headed up Tuesday and curious what to expect in this regard. Although, the one fire up in the northeastern Q is now burning at 650 acres. So that's grown quite a bit and is getting pretty sizeable. |

We're headed up Tuesday and curious what to expect in this regard. I got the map from the Quetico Provincial Park Facebook page. They posted it earlier this week. Ya agree, I too was suprised they would close such a large segment of the park for the size of fires being reported. Couldn't find any more info that would provide an explaination. |

Sure is a big slice of the Q to close for a few smaller (I think) fires on one end. Just curious - where did you find this map? I am not having luck finding it online. |

06/13/2021 04:55AM I was up near Rainy and Kettle Falls and sky was clear from 6/4 to 6/13. Wind was consistent from the south/ sw so any smoke would be blowing north. Should not have any issues with air quality. |

06/12/2021 06:21AM Well, I see on the INTERACTIVE FIRE MAP all the fires are currently pretty small, to the west end, but only being observed and not supressed. Still be interested to hear if anyone has any observations from this week. |
