Crews have contained a wildfire deep in Maine’s North Woods.
The Pine Stream Fire broke out Sunday in T4 R13 WELS, near Chesuncook, in Piscataquis County, according to the Maine Forest Service.
The 10-acre fire was burning in an old timber harvest. By Tuesday morning, that fire had swelled to about 25 acres, although forest rangers have managed to contain it.
Crews will be monitoring the fire over the next couple days as they work to extinguish remaining blazes.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
