"Waseca Wildfire Grows to 500+ Acres Amid Red Flag Warning"

A wildfire is burning north of Waseca, Minnesota, prompting the evacuation of six to eight homes and posing a challenge to containment due to strong winds. The fire, centered near Snake Trail, has led to smaller structure damage, and the smoke could impact air quality along the Interstate 35 corridor. The area is under a red flag warning, with ideal conditions for spreading fires, and the National Interstate Fire Center has warned of an increased risk for wildfires in Minnesota and northern Wisconsin this spring.
