(ABC 6 News) — On Friday, Governor Tim Walz and U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith visit the Incident Command Center in Two Harbors to receive a briefing from officials battling the northern Minnesota wildfires, meet with volunteers, and survey the fire damage.

Governor Walz spent most of his time thanking first responders for their commitment to stopping the spread of three devastating blazes that are raging across St. Louis County.

It’s estimated that the three major wildfires have burned at least 30,000 acres with many in the surrounding communities being forced to leave their homes. The common dry, and windy conditions across Minnesota so far this spring are the main instigators of these fires.

As of Friday afternoon, 2 of the major wildfires are 0% contained, with the smallest fire of the three only 25% contained.

First responders from all over the nation have been responding to help put these fires out.

“The biggest thing is and this is a big thank you to the resources will come. Our federal partners will make sure those are coming. Just to reassure folks on this, it’s hard, and we certainly know it’s going to be traumatic over the coming months, but the commitment to rebuilding is there,” said Governor Walz.

Senator Tina Smith addresses impacted communities, stating that there is still a long way to go when it comes to fighting these fires, given the tricky environment.

“It reminds us that it is complicated to fight fires in a terrain like this where there’s lots of wetland and structures spread very, very far away from each other, putting together the resources to be able to fight a fire in this environment is not easy” says Senator Smith.

Senator Klobuchar further commented on the resilience of Northern Minnesota, stating “as usual, northern Minnesota is up to the task, strong, and while these fires are not yet contained, we are doing everything we can because of the spirit of the people up here”.

Governor Walz also says that even if FEMA is not able to assist with recovery after these fires, the state is standing by with funding, with bipartisan support to help impacted communities get back onto their feet.

Rain has fallen across much of Minnesota over the last two days, with the hope that more is on the way soon. More frequent rains would help fire fighters battle the flames, as well as prevent future fires from breaking out.
