LUCE COUNTY, MI (AP)-- Michigan authorities are holding a rush sale of timber in an area damaged by a 33-square-mile fire in Luce County.
The Michigan Department of Natural Resources said Wednesday that crews have finally managed to fully contain the Duck Lake Fire. The DNR says it's moving fast to salvage timber in the fire area because of the potential for bugs infesting trees left standing.
The DNR says preparations are under way and says it's offering a tour June 21 for potential bidders. The bidding starts at 10 a.m. June 22 at its Newberry Field Office.
