PHOTO: A wildfire that raged in east central Minnesota for much of Tuesday is finally under control, fire officials told KARE 11 early Wednesday morning.
Crews are still working the large fire near Rum River State Forest just north of Milaca.
The Mille Lacs County Sheriff's Office urged people to avoid the area near 230th Street, just east of Highway 169 as the fire spread to approximately 100 acres.
"Extra traffic in the area is making their jobs more difficult," the Mille Lacs County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook.
According to the Fire, Weather and Avalanche Center, the fire started around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. Officials have not confirmed the source or when the fire was contained or extinguished.
The Mille Lacs County Sheriff is expected to release more information Wednesday morning.
