A wildfire burning in northern Minnesota reached 35 acres, with fire suppression efforts still underway as of Wednesday, June 4, according to KAAL TV.
The blaze was active as of early Wednesday morning — the exact start date and cause hadn’t been released. No agency had publicly identified the fire by name as of the report’s publication.
Suppression efforts
Crews were still working to contain it. How many personnel were on the ground, and whether any structures or evacuations were involved, wasn’t specified in the initial report.
Thirty-five acres is roughly the size of 26 city blocks. In dry early-summer conditions, ground fires in northern Minnesota’s mixed forest and brush terrain can move faster than initial containment lines allow, though no spread rate was given for this incident.
KAAL TV reported the story late Tuesday night, June 3. No containment percentage had been released.
