All evacuation orders prompted by wildfires north of Duluth, Minnesota, have been lifted, officials said Monday.
The evacuation zones connected to the Brimson Complex Fire, which includes the Camp House and Jenkins Creek fires, were deactivated as of 8 a.m., according to the Eastern Area Incident Management Team.
Both fires show minimal activity. The Camp House Fire is 90% contained and stands at 12,071 acres in size, while Jenkins Creek is 78% contained and 16,089 acres.
While the cause of the Camp House Fire is under investigation, authorities know humans started the Jenkins Creek Fire.
Crews will continue to tackle hot spots and monitor the fires. On Tuesday, a National Incident Management Organization team will assume command of the Jenkins Creek Fire, local officials said.
Parts of Superior National Forest remain closed due to the fires.
A third fire southwest of the Brimson Complex blaze, dubbed Munger Shaw, is expected to be fully contained on Wednesday, officials said. It stands at 1,259 acres and the cause is unknown.
