Three wildfires in northern Minnesota’s Arrowhead region have grown quickly from a few hundred acres to several thousand, with new evacuations and reports of destroyed buildings increasing by the day.
Wednesday was a quieter day for the 15,000-acre Camp House Fire, with Ramsey saying there was a "little progress" southwest towards the Ault Town Hall, as well as into Lake County to the east, but there was otherwise "minimal fire spread," saying it was "definitely one of the slower days since it began on Sunday."
The three major wildfires are among more than 1,000 fires so far this year, which is on track to exceed state averages.
