While the fire presents danger to people and property, it also presents an opportunity for local photographers. A few of them were so attracted to the flames that they got in their boats for a closer look.

MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Barb Tuttle, who took pictures of the Cavity Lake fire from Seagull Lake before it was closed to the public.
