Summary

The Ridge Fire, located approximately 10 miles northwest of Marquette in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, has grown to an estimated 450 acres with 20% containment as of October 13. The fire, fueled by conifers, hardwoods, balsam, and spruce in rugged terrain, prompted evacuations of at least three homes. Evacuation orders have been lifted following improved weather conditions with increased humidity and lower temperatures. Suppression efforts involve 40 firefighters, aircraft including two Fire Boss planes from Minnesota, and assistance from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and local fire departments. The cause remains under investigation. Wildfire smoke from the Ridge Fire is affecting air quality in the Marquette area, and residents have been advised to monitor emergency notifications and take precautions.
