Initial Attack Resources Respond to Nine Lighting Fires and One Abandoned Campfire As of Sunday morning resources have responded to ten fires across the forest. Locations of the starts include; 4 on the Diamond Lake Ranger District, 4 on the Tiller Ranger District and one on the Cottage Grove Ranger District which was an abandoned campfire. The largest fire was estimated at 2/10 of an acre.
