Crews are battling multiple wildfires across northern Minnesota, including the significant Flanders Fire in Crow Wing County, which has grown to over 1,200 acres with evacuations in place. Governor Walz has declared a peacetime emergency and activated the National Guard to assist with the firefighting efforts. The Stewart Trail Fire near Two Harbors has resulted in the loss of buildings and ongoing highway closures. As firefighters respond to numerous blazes, officials warn that some fires were sparked by human activity. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for 15 counties, further complicating fire control efforts as conditions remain dry and windy.
