**Start Date/Time/Location** The Camp House Fire started around 1 p.m. on Sunday, May 11, 2025, in Ault Township, approximately two miles northeast of Brimson, Minnesota, within the Superior National Forest[3][4][5]. **Size and Containment** As of May 24, 2025, the fire has burned just over 12,000 acres and is 90% contained[1][3]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** Initially, the fire grew rapidly from about 1,200 acres to nearly 12,000 acres in a short period, fueled by wind gusts, low humidity, warm temperatures, dry underbrush, and a build-up of dead trees killed by an insect infestation, particularly spruce budworm[4][5]. **Containment Efforts** Firefighters are engaged in full suppression tactics, providing protection to threatened structures and infrastructure. Additional resources, including in-state and out-of-state crews, have been assigned to establish fire containment lines using heavy equipment[5].
