ST. PAUL, MN (KDAL) – The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has expanded burning restrictions to northern St. Louis County and Koochiching County effective on Friday.
There are already restrictions in place for Cook and Lake Counties.
The burning restrictions means that burning permits will not be issued and burning brush or yard waste is prohibited.
Campfires are allowed only in established fire rings associated with a home, cabin, permanent campground or resort.
Fire danger in the region has increased with extremely dry conditions and the burning restrictions will remain in place until further notice.
