DULUTH, Minn. (KFGO-WCCO) — A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to starting a major northland wildfire this spring.
Prosecutors charged Parker Wilson, 27, with a misdemeanor in connection to the Camp House Fire in September. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources said the cause of the fire was an unattended campfire.
The fire started near Brimson on May 11 and burned for nearly two weeks before crews were able to contain it. More than 12,000 acres and 150 buildings were destroyed, according to the natural resources department.
The court fined Wilson $190.
