The Munger Shaw wildfire, located approximately ten miles southeast of Cotton, Minnesota was detected May 12, 2025. The fire remains at 1,259 acres and 95% containment. Local Minnesota DNR resources remain committed to the incident daily as smoke, internal heat from smoldering debris and open flame continue to be identified within the containment line. While the fire is largely contained, smoldering hotspots within the fire’s interior will continue to smolder and produce smoke until the fire area receives sufficient precipitation or until snowfall this winter.
