Survivors reflect on the day the Pagami Creek Fire exploded 10 years ago

Smoke plume
Smoke from the Pagami Creek fire on Sept. 10, 2011. "The smoke plume went straight up and then plateaued high above our heads. While fishing, it felt like a big storm was brewing, but in reality the skies were blue and clear, except for the incredible effect of the fire," said Greg Seitz, communications director for the Friends of the Boundary Waters Wilderness.
