- Crews battling multiple wildfires in northern Minnesota, state sending additional support
Northern Minnesota is experiencing multiple wildfires, prompting the state to send additional support. Gov. Tim Walz declared a peacetime emergency, authorizing the National Guard to assist crews, while 16 active fires—four in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area—face challenges from hot, dry conditions. The U.S. Forest Service has closed 225,000 acres of the BWCA, and a Red Flag Warning is in effect for several counties.
