As the Jenkins Creek Fire continues to burn in northern Minnesota, the City of Hoyt Lakes has been placed on "SET" evacuation status.

Three wildfires have burned a combined over 30,000 acres in northern Minnesota, destroying buildings and prompting evacuations.

East Range Police Chief Jorden Klovstad told the News Tribune that Hoyt Lakes is “in the ready stage,” should the fire get close enough to warrant a partial evacuation. Klovstad said he is relying on the U.S. Forest Service and St. Louis County emergency staff for updates and risk assessments.
