Nearly 37,000 acres have burned since Sunday as three wildfires continue to rage in northern Minnesota, none of which have been contained.

Three wildfires erupted in Northern Minnesota over the past few days amid unseasonably high temperatures and extreme fire danger.

An update issued at 7:46 a.m. revealed that the Jenkins Creek Fire expanded to 6,000 acres, a significant increase from the 1,500 acres it had devoured as of Monday evening.

Three major wildfires raging out of control in the same Minnesota county have burned more than 20,000 acres combined.

The fire was initially reported at 1:31 a.m. Monday. The homeowners were able to leave their house safely without injury as the fire continued to spread.

The Camp House Fire is nearly 12,000 acres; Jenkins Creek Fire is 6,800 acres; and Munger Shaw Fire is 1,400 acres. All are zero percent contained.

Much of Northern Minnesota remains under extreme fire danager on Wednesday. Northwest Wisconsin is reported as very high fire danger. Use caution.

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.
