DEVELOPING: A rapidly growing wildfire situation is unfolding west of Carlton County, Minnesota, this afternoon, with numerous fires now burning across Crow Wing and surrounding counties amid extremely dry and windy conditions.
The largest fire currently appears to be the Flanders Fire near Crosby in Crow Wing County, which has now exploded to approximately 600 acres according to Watch Duty and NIFC updates. The fire reportedly jumped County Road 11 earlier this afternoon and aircraft have been making repeated water drop runs over the area as crews work to slow the spread. The fire went from 100 acres to 600 acres in just a couple hours.
Localized evacuations have also reportedly been taking place east of the fire near Adney Lake Road.
Several additional fires are also burning throughout the region, including:
🔥 Flanders Fire — 600 acres
🔥 Rock Lake Fire — 5 acres
🔥 Gallus Fire — 10 acres
🔥 Zuni Fire
🔥 Edward Fire
🔥 Hummingbird Fire
🔥 Lake Ridge Fire
Smoke from these fires is now drifting east and appears to be causing numerous reports of possible fire activity and smoke conditions in parts of Carlton County. At this time, much of the smoke appears to be originating from the active wildfire activity west of us.
With Red Flag conditions, low humidity, gusty winds, and critically dry vegetation, THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO BURN.
Even small fires can rapidly escape containment in current conditions. Campfires may still technically be allowed in some areas, but departments across the region are strongly discouraging any kind of outdoor burning right now.
⚠️ Please:
• Do NOT burn brush
• Avoid recreational fires if possible
• Properly dispose of cigarettes
• Do not park hot vehicles on dry grass
• Report any visible smoke or fire immediately
• NO FIREWORKS
These conditions are extremely dangerous and fires are spreading fast across Minnesota today.
As of 3:52 p.m. for the Flanders Fire, Fire is impacting the area of CR 11 and Mission Way Rd, and was jumping CR 11 at Roberts Drive, moving east per radio traffic.

NEW: Michael Fanone's FULL bodycam video has been released. When you put the bodycam video next to his sworn testimony you can see this Man told many lies about what happened to him that day.
If January 6th was as bad as Democrats have claimed then why the need to LIE about that day?

May 10-16 is National Police Week. This week is meant to not only honor the badge, but those who gave their lives in service of it, and in service of the American public.
The Wyoming Highway Patrol honors the lives of the three of its own who lost their lives in the line of duty. Patrolman Pete Visser, who was killed in 1981 when his patrol vehicle was rear ended by a drunk driver. Patrolman Chris Lodgeson was killed when he was forced off the road by a wrong-way driver on I-25 in 1998. Highway Patrol K9 Robbie died when he was struck by a semi-truck during a traffic stop in 2014.
The Wyoming Highway Patrol asks you to join us in honoring these three, along with the many peace officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty across the nation.
