Drying conditions increase potential for wildfires

May 20, 2016 by Hometown News

With windy and dry conditions throughout the state, and no rain predicted until Monday, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is urging people to be cautious with fire.

“People should continue to check fire conditions to avoid having an unintended fire,” said Linda Gormanson, wildfire prevention supervisor.

Campfires are currently allowed, but people should check daily for updated conditions or additional local restrictions in their city or county. Good judgment should prevail when considering using any fire source, including cooking grills, welding torches or other equipment.

Statewide DNR fire updates are posted daily at www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/fire/wildfire_update.html.
