North American Wildfires of 2025

Multiple large wildfires are currently burning across Canada in parts of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, forcing over 30,000 residents to evacuate.

The largest fire has grown to over 530,000 acres (216,000 hectares) near Candle Lake in central Saskatchewan. In total, around 2.3 million acres (930,000 hectares) have burned across Canada. Smoke from the wildfires has pushed into the United States, plaguing the skies over major metropolitans.

In mid May 2025, several large wildfires erupted in the Arrowhead region of Minnesota.

The Camp House Fire started on May 11, 2025, with the Jenkins Creek Fire beginning a day later on May 12, 2025. The Camp House Fire grew to just under 12,000 acres (30,000 hectares), while the Jenkins Creek Fire grew to 16,000 acres (40,000 hectares). A third, smaller fire, named the Munger Shaw Fire, also ignited on May 12, 2025 and grew to 1,200 acres (3000 hectares). As of May 28, all three fires have been nearly completely contained.
