Officials: 95 buildings destroyed by Mich. wildfire, including 34 homes or cabins; no injuries May 28th 2012, 16:06 NEWBERRY, Mich. –  Officials say a wildfire burning across more than 30 square miles of Michigan's Upper Peninsula has destroyed nearly 100 buildings but there have been no reports of injuries. The fire that began last week has burned 95 structures, with a third of them being homes or cabins. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources said Monday that the Duck Lake Fire has burned more than 22,000 acres, or 34 square miles, in Luce County. The fire is 51 percent contained and officials still are warning people to stay away from the nearby Tahquamenon Falls State Park. Gov. Rick Snyder last week barred fireworks and outdoor burning in 49 Michigan counties due to extremely dry conditions. But officials say intermittent rain has helped the Duck Lake firefighting effort.
