The cause of the fire was determined to be a nearby campfire. Fire Marshall Brian Kiffmeyer says the fire highlights the dangers of unattended burning, especially during dry weather, and that even a small fire can quickly get out of control. Stearns, Benton, and Sherburne counties are in a fire weather watch through Monday evening due to gusty winds and low humidity.
