SENEY, Mich. (AP) - Crews have been fighting a fire at the Seney National Wildlife Refuge in Schoolcraft County that was started Sunday by a lighting strike.
The fire had burned 3,000 to 3,200 acres, or roughly 5 square miles, as of Thursday night at Seney National Wildlife Refuge in Schoolcraft County in the Upper Peninsula.
Officials say dry conditions contributed to its spread.
No injuries or damage to buildings was reported. The refuge plans to evaluate whether to close trails in the area for the upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
The Daily Press of Escanaba reports a wildfire Tuesday in Alger County damaged about 60 acres. No injuries were reported during that fire.
