Crews are working to ensure that no more structures are damaged by a wildfire burning across more than 30 square miles of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
The Department of Natural Resources on Tuesday says 97 structures have been destroyed, including 34 homes or cabins. The latest estimate adds two sheds or outbuildings to a total released a day earlier. No injuries have been reported.
Homes and cabins make up a third of the structures destroyed. The lost property includes Pike Lake Resort near Pike Lake in Luce County.
The DNR says the Duck Lake Fire began with a lightning strike last week and burned more than 22,000 acres, or 34 square miles. At last report the fire was 51 percent contained. Monday's firefighting effort was aided in places by rain.
