Due to risk of wildfire, spring burning restrictions take effect across Minnesota
VIDEO: Starting Monday, spring burning restrictions go into effect across Minnesota. The state’s Department of Natural Resources is beginning annual spring burning restrictions due to the dry and warmer than average weather this past winter causing fire danger. High and very high fire risk levels are across Minnesota – including the Twin Cities area – according to the DNR’s latest fire danger map. The restrictions include open burning of vegetative debris across most of the state, so the DNR won’t be issuing permits for open burning of brush or yard waste in most counties until restrictions are lifted. According to the DNR, more than 90% of wildfires in the state are caused by people, so it’s important to be careful with anything that can cause a spark, especially on a windy, dry day.

Shed considered total loss after fire in Rochester
VIDEO: An abandoned shed in northeast Rochester was fully engulfed in flames early Sunday morning. According to the Rochester Fire Department, it happened around 1:58 a.m. at 1335 48th Street NE. When fire crews arrived on scene, they found the flames had spread to the grass and trees in the area surrounding the structure. RFD deployed several fire attack handlines off 2 engines and quickly extinguished the spreading brush fires to eliminate the threat of nearby houses being exposed. Once the grass fire was out, firefighters worked to extinguish flames on the shed. There were no injuries as result of the fire. RFD searched the building and found no victims. The shed and its contents are considered a total loss. The Fire Marshal’s division was on scene to conduct an investigation.

Unauthorized drone disrupts fire response at Split Rock Lighthouse in Lake County
The Minnesota Interagency Fire Center is reporting that drones continue to show up unannounced on Minnesota wildfires. Firefighters responding to a small fire on Tuesday, near Split Rock Lighthouse along the north shore, confirmed the latest unauthorized drone encounter. The Minnesota Interagency Fire Center now wants to warn everyone that unauthorized use of drones within the vicinity of a wildfire is prohibited. Firefighters with the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and a DNR helicopter also responded to the small one-acre wildfire at Split Rock Lighthouse. While the helicopter landed to refuel, DNR firefighters spotted an unauthorized drone where they were working. The DNR helicopter remained grounded until firefighters confirmed the drone had landed, and then the helicopter returned to base.
