3 wildfires continue raging in northeastern Minnesota; 20K acres burnt so far

  • Three wildfires burned across northeastern Minnesota near Brimson and surrounding areas from Sunday to Monday, forcing evacuations and road closures.
  • Dry conditions, strong winds, and near-critical fire weather, including a Red Flag Warning for 64 counties, contributed to the rapid fire spread and fueled the blazes.
  • The wildfire close to Brimson expanded from 200 to about 750 acres overnight with no containment, leading to the evacuation of more than 50 homes within specified perimeter roads.
  • The fire was reported to be progressing rapidly toward the north, according to the local sheriff of St. Louis County, while Minnesota Incident Command notified that the presence of drones near the fire would result in the suspension of all aerial firefighting efforts.
  • Officials set up evacuation centers and urged residents to remain evacuated as a weather pattern shift with expected rainfall later in the week could affect fire conditions.
