Officials Saturday were still fighting two small fires by air and ground in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, as well as a 500-acre blaze burning just across the Canadian border. Canadian crews are attacking a "very active" fire known as Fort Frances No. 59, the Duluth News Tribune reports.

The massive wildfire in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness burned about 95,000 acres. Hundreds of firefighters from the Midwest and Rocky Mountains fought the blaze at a cost of more than $20 million. And now, with winter approaching, we're getting a look at the extent of the devastation the fire left behind.

A wild fire in the Boundary Waters has grown to 40 acres while firefighters on the ground work to create a control line. Although rain is not in the forecast for the very dry area, the wind is expected to die down to help crews attack the blaze.

The Forest Service will start handing out permits on a first-come, first-served basis next year. The Forest Service has quotas at entry points to ensure there are enough campsites.
