Episode description
Two large wildfires burning uncontrolled in northeastern Minnesota grew significantly overnight.
The Jenkins Creek fire more than doubled in size and has now burned more than 20,000 acres of forest, or about 31 square miles. It's burning north in a long, narrow band east of Hoyt Lakes and south of Babbitt. Meanwhile the Camp House Fire grew modestly to about 15,000 acres. That fire near Brimson has destroyed at least 144 structures.
That story and more in today’s evening update. Hosted by Kelly Bleyer. Music by Gary Meister.
