Michigan Wildfire Traced Back to Private Campfire

A wildfire in Michigan that has burned over 3 square miles was caused by a campfire on private property, according to the state Department of Natural Resources. The fire, which began on Saturday, has scorched over 2,000 acres and was 85% contained by Sunday morning. Emergency evacuations were issued for the fire area, but residents were allowed to return to their homes late Saturday. The fire danger remains very high to extreme in most parts of Michigan, and officials are not currently granting burn permits for yard debris due to the fire risk.
