Above: Since 2000, the Cook County Firewise Committee has been working in the community to promote Firewise landscaping, to help prevent the spread of wildfire and damage to homes and property. The Gunflint Trail community recently put some of the Firewise concepts into practice. A 25-person work crew cleared brush from the perimeter of Gunflint Trail Volunteer Fire Department Hall No. 3 on Sunday, July 19.
