Happy hUmP Day! 🐫🐪
This has been the mantra of the week! Our Forests are so vulnerable right now! Please help us keep them free of fire. Praying for rain! 🤎💚

⚠️ CRITICAL FIRE DANGER THIS WEEK ⚠️

Fire danger levels are currently EXTREME across the majority of the Upper Peninsula and VERY HIGH across the northern Lower Peninsula. Today and tomorrow are absolutely not the days to burn.

The Michigan DNR has officially closed burn permits until we receive sufficient rain. To everyone living in or visiting these areas, please pause and take these critical precautions:

☑️ Hold off on yard work: Leave yard waste piled for a later day.

☑️ Watch the sparks: Be incredibly careful with power equipment, off-road vehicles, and trailer chains. A single spark or hot engine parked on dry grass can ignite a massive wildfire.

☑️ Be mindful of storm debris: In the northern Lower Peninsula, downed wood from last year's March 2025 ice storm is completely dry and poses an extra risk for hotter, faster-burning fires.

☑️ Never leave a campfire unattended: If you are cooking or camping, contain your fire in a pit or ring. When you are done, douse it with water, stir the ashes, and douse it again. It must be completely out.

☑️ Know who to call: If a backyard fire does get away from you, call 911 immediately. Please do not try to put it out yourself before calling authorities.

With temperatures in the 80s, low humidity, and heavy wind gusts expected, embers can fly far and wide, spreading fire instantly.

A massive thank you to our fire crews with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, and every first responder staying on high alert. We hope everyone joins in to do their part and make sure wildfires stay at a minimum. Please stay safe, stay vigilant, and let's protect Michigan together.

Burn permit and wildfire prevention information can be found in the comments.

Please know that our Forest is super dry right now and we desperately need some rain. This afternoon there was a fire just south of us. Be aware as you are traveling UP here for smoke, know that bonfires are not permitted at this time, and for goodness sake, please do not throw cigarette butts out of the vehicle. You doing your part to prevent forest fires is appreciated!
THANK YOU to all of the crews, both land and air, that played a part in today’s fire off Highway 13, assuring it was contained quickly!

Earlier today, a handful of small fire starts were identified along Forest Highway 13 on the Hiawatha National Forest. Local, state, and federal responders are on scene working towards containment. Water delivery aircraft are assisting. Another report of smoke was received on the Stonington Peninsula, and firefighters are currently responding.

There is elevated wildfire potential across the U.P. and will continue until significant precipitation is received. Use caution while on the Forest.

Help us protect our communities and wilderness! Please, please, refrain from burning at this time. We need rain terribly!

Happy June!
What’s the buzz UP here the last several days? Besides the mosquitoes, these bees are busy and happier than ever that we’ve had ample sunshine and warm temps after a long winter…and so are we!
Volume up…the hummingbirds had to get in on the action with a quick flyby too!
