2026 Wildfires in Northern Minnesota

I thank my friends from the New Jersey Forest Fire Service Section B10 for sharing the video on the wildfires currently burning in northern Minnesota. I wanted to find out more about these fires in addition to sharing the video so I found an article that I am linking to. The Governor of Minnesota, Tim Walz mobilized the National Guard to support wildland firefighters fighting these fires. There were some storms with lightning on July 6th with little rain that lead to these wildfires. See this article from Minnesota Public Radio for more information. from Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) for more information. Governor Walz declared a state of emergency yesterday.
