**Start Date/Time/Location** The Jenkins Creek Fire ignited on Monday, May 12, 2025, around 11:00 a.m., east of County Road 110 and north of County Road 16 near Jenkins Creek in northern Minnesota[1][4]. **Size and Containment** As of June 12, 2025, the fire has burned 16,145 acres and is 94% contained[2][3]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** Initially, the fire rapidly expanded due to hot temperatures, low relative humidity, and strong south winds, burning through mixed boreal forest and grassy ground cover, including areas heavily infested by spruce budworm. However, cooler and calmer weather over the past few weeks has helped slow the spread of the flames[5]. **Containment Efforts** A National Incident Management Organization (NIMO) Team is managing the fire under a full suppression strategy, with a focus on ensuring public and firefighter safety. Crews have made significant progress, particularly with fuels reduction along contingency lines and using Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) to map the fire perimeter and identify hotspots[2].
