Fire crews dig a fire line on the southern edge of the Pagami Creek Fire, north of Isabella and just south of the BWCA border on Wednesday. The fire in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness is one of the largest on record in the state, and just under half of the access points into the wilderness were closed to campers by midday Wednesday. Fewer than 50 buildings, including cabins, had been evacuated. (Brian Peterson / Star Tribune)
