Minnesota Wildfires Prompt Widespread Evacuations and National Guard Deployment
As wildfires continue to ravage northeastern Minnesota, multiple evacuation orders have been issued across affected areas, particularly near Brimson and St. Louis County. Fire crews are battling several large blazes, including the rapidly spreading Camp House Fire, which has destroyed over 40 structures and burned 1,250 acres. Governor Walz has activated the National Guard to assist firefighting efforts, as dry and windy conditions exacerbate the situation. Residents in the vicinity are urged to evacuate, with more than 50 homes and cabins already impacted by flames. Additional wildfires are reported in the Superior National Forest, contributing to growing concerns and coordinated firefighting responses from various agencies.
