See Aerial Drone Footage Of Wildfire Destruction In Northern Minnesota

Video is being shared of a birds-eye view of the damage caused by one of the recent wildfires in Northern Minnesota.

Firefighters worked tirelessly to contain the Munger Shaw fire that started south of Cotton, Minnesota, and burned thousands of acres. Earlier this week, officials said that the fire was 95% contained and had burned more than 1600 acres.

WDIO reported that the Minnesota Incident Command Center said it was their final update unless significant activity occurred. They handed management of the fire back to the local Cloquet Area DNR forestry on Tuesday. They continue to patrol the area.

The St. Louis County Public Works Department visited the area with a drone to survey damage done by the wildfire. The drone took off from the intersection of Three Lakes Road and Munger Shaw Road. It then traveled a mile and a half north, following the burned areas.

.It's interesting to see in the video how the fire behaved. Looking at the burn patterns, you can spot some areas where the fire jumped from one spot to another.

This was the smallest of the three wildfires that made national news. The Brimson Complex Fires, including the Camp House Fire and Jenkins Creek fire, are still burning. As of yesterday, the Camp House fire was 73% contained, and the Jenkins Creek Fire was at 13% contained. Cooler temperatures and recent rainfall have helped slow the fire. Over 500,000 gallons of water have been dropped by firefighting planes and helicopters.
