The U.S. Forest service says say the Camp House fire has burned over 12,000 acres and 140 structures have been destroyed.

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

According to Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, the state has already had 970 fires this year. On average the state experiences a little over 1,100 a year, remember it’s only May.

A new incident command team will take over the response to the two largest fires beginning Wednesday, state officials said.

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.

The bar has had some “rude” rubberneckers treating the tragedy “like a bonfire,” said Jessica Willemarck, but by and large, the proprietors have seen “just a lot of concerned people trying to figure out what’s all going on.”

A wildfire fueled by dry conditions and high winds about an hour north of Duluth grew to more than 1 square mile in just a few hours. The Camphouse Fire near Brimson, Minn., was detected Sunday shortly after 1 p.

The fire, which started north of the town of Brimson near the Superior National Forest, has already blackened 750 acres and is growing.
