Air Quality Alert Impacts Burning Permits

*Burning Permits will not be activated August 16-18, 2024 in parts of northwest Minnesota.*

The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has issued an air quality alert for parts of northwest Minnesota beginning August 16 at 3 p.m., until August 18 at 6 p.m.

To reduce additional air pollutants, burning permits will not be issued or activated. Campfires are discouraged. Area includes Clay, Kittson, Norman, Marshall, Polk, and Wilkin

The air quality is expected to reach the red air quality index, a level considered unhealthy for everyone. It may improve to orange (unhealthy for sensitive groups) on Saturday. Smoke will linger until at least Sunday.
