Northern Minnesota experienced a period of very severe fire weather during the spring of 1971. Little precipitation fell after mid-April snowmelt and dry, windy weather forced fire danger upward. In mid- May the Little Sioux fire burned 1,628 acres of forest on the Superior National Forest during a 3-day period. This paper documents the fuel and weather conditions that caused this fire to behave as it did.
