The blaze is threatening nearby structures and burning in dense, spruce budworm-infested forest near the Lake County boundary.

Minnesota Incident Command Team C, led by Incident Commander Jeb Backe, assumed command at 7 a.m. on Monday.

A total of 56 personnel are assigned, including 6 engines, 3 bulldozers, a 10-person ground crew, 3 tracked vehicles, and air support.

Firefighters continue aggressive suppression efforts amid active fire behavior, low overnight humidity recovery, and critical fire weather.

A Red Flag Warning is in effect today due to warm temperatures, low humidity, and gusty winds.

Evacuations were issued last night for the area bounded by Little Creek Road (north), County Road 151 (east), Camp House Road (south), and Highway 44 (west).

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
