Crosby Fire along the North Shore

What we know:

Firefighters are using aircraft to provide water drops that "helped cool and slow down the active flames," according to MICS.

Steep terrain is making it difficult for firefighters to access the fire, which is primarily in a remote ridge area of George H. Crosby Manitou State Park. This is along the Lake Superior North Shore between Duluth and Lutsen, about 10 miles southwest of Tofte.

Officials say the fire is being fueled by fall leaf litter and mixed maple hardwoods.
