Air Quality Alert impacts burning permits
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has expanded the Air Quality Alert to include all of Minnesota and extended it until 5 p.m. on Saturday, 8/2.
To reduce additional air pollutants, burning permits will not be issued or activated when an Air Quality Alert is active. Campfires are discouraged.
