U.P. forest fire is 50% contained

Officials are saying that the Sleeper Lake Fire is contained by a fire line along about 50% of the fire’s perimeter. The total acres burnt are now up to 18,483.

The fire is the U.P.’s largest in about 30 years and in order for the fire to be completely extinguished it will be up to nature to take its course and some time.
