The fires were at their worst in June. As of today, only one fire is listed as "out of control," while many others are listed as "under control," or "being held."

Meanwhile, the smoke from the fires has drifted in Michigan. The National Weather Service said the hazy smoke will hold over the state for most of Monday.
