Three wildfires in northern Minnesota, including the Camp House, Jenkins Creek and Munger Shaw fires, continue to cause damage.
DNR Forestry Director Patty Thielen called current weather and fire conditions "unprecedented," saying the number of fires so far in 2025 is 3 times the average.
The three major wildfires are among more than 1,000 fires so far this year, which is on track to exceed state averages.
Luckily with this go around in the short term we have cooler, wetter weather coming. Places like California will undoubtedly continue to see worsening fire seasons but bad years in Minnesota could become more frequent, even if they are still overall rare compared to the west.
