Two US Forest Service initial attack crews (13 firefighters ), the Forest Service Beaver, and Morse/Fall Lake Volunteer Fire Department firefighters responded to a fire on a small island near the Little Long Lake portage on the east arm of Burntside Lake today. Two helicopters were available if needed. All aircraft have been released from the Burntside Island Fire. The fire created enough smoke for people in the area to observe. No residents were evacuated. Firefighters remain on scene, working to ensure the fire is contained.
