- Three wildfires burned across northeastern Minnesota from May 11 to 12, 2025, destroying several cabins and forcing evacuations near Brimson and surrounding areas.
- Dry, windy conditions and above-normal temperatures with gusts up to 25 mph created extreme fire danger and rapid fire spread, while causes remain under investigation.
- The largest fire, Camp House Fire near Brimson, grew overnight from 200 to 750 acres with 0% containment, leading to evacuation of over 50 properties and closure of County Highway 44.
- Residents like Jeff Conklin and Robbie Krofoot evacuated but safeguarded properties using fuel reduction and watering efforts, with responders crediting these measures and aerial firefighting for limiting damage.
- The fires prompted air quality alerts and public warnings, with evacuation centers opened and officials urging residents to avoid the area until weather changes bring expected relief later in the week.
