25 Fires Burning in Minnesota

At least twenty-five wild fires are burning in Minnesota.

At least fifty buildings have been lost to the fires, at this point.

Helicopters and planes are battling the blazes, but with many lakes still covered in ice, some sources of water have been closed to them.

The largest is the Green Valley Fire, which has forced the evacuation of the entire town of Menahga.

It has burned over four thousand acres, as it is spurred along by wind gusts hitting on thirty miles per hour.

Two fires near Red Lake have burnt nearly seven thousand acres, but rain in that area is helping the battle.
