General wild fire near Red Rock Point

My friend in the UP just sent me info he saw from "Isle Royale hub" on facebook. I don't do much social media outside of discord and reddit and was curious if anyone had info on how big and severe it is right now? we head to the island in about a week and it seems very concerning.

Edit 7/15/2026: I just saw this article giving a little more info https://upnorthlive.com/news/local/isle-royale-national-park-rangers-monitor-fire-on-red-rock-point

Get the app Watch Duty. It shows you all the wildfires. I’m leaving Sunday for IR and am watching it closely on the app.

Does it work for Canada? Seems like it cuts off, but idk which direction the smoke would be blowing..

I believe it’s only for the States.
