Wildfire activity across Minnesota remains quiet
Wildfire activity across Minnesota is quiet, with no active significant fires burning.
Conditions and Outlook
No Red Flag Warnings or Fire Weather Watches are in effect across Minnesota. Significant fire potential remains low to lowest statewide over the coming days, aided by recent rainfall in northeastern areas and mild autumn weather. Hazardous fire weather is not expected through the week.
Burn Bans and Land Management
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources requires active permits prior to burning vegetative brush, leaves, or yard debris. In the Superior National Forest, an emergency closure remains in effect for designated burn scars in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness and along the Echo Trail due to falling deadfall and hazard trees.
What Residents Should Do
- Obtain and activate an open burning permit from the Minnesota DNR before burning yard debris.
- Stay out of closed burn scars and trail corridors in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness.
