The view from the historic fire tower shows the extent of the smoky haze over Pequot Lakes on Thursday, July 29, 2021, as a gray miasma obstructs the scene of the town and the bobber water tower from Paul M. Thiede Fire Tower Park. The smoke from wildfires in Canada, brought down to the Brainerd lakes area by northerly winds behind a cold front, triggered an air quality alert. The alert is in effect until 3 p.m. Friday.
