ST. PAUL, MN (KDAL) – Favorable weather has reduced the wildfire risk for much of northern Minnesota in the last week.
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has removed fire restrictions effective Wednesday for 14 counties in the state including St. Louis County.
Burning restrictions remain in place for Cook and Lake Counties where wildfire danger is still high.
In those two counties, no campfires are allowed for remote, back country camping and open burning permits are restricted.
Areas around the Greenwood fire remain closed.
The DNR will continue to monitor conditions and adjust county specific burning restrictions as necessary.
