Dozens of rangers are fanning out across the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to notify campers of the closure order now in effect.

The entire BWCA is closed for at least a week because of increased wildfire activity and limited resources to respond to non-fire emergencies. This is an MPR News morning update for Monday, August 23, 2021. Hosted by Cathy Wurzer.
