Red Flag Warning Expanded to Additional Minnesota Counties
The National Weather Service has expanded the Red Flag Warning for several additional counties in Minnesota due to extreme fire risk conditions.
Affected counties include:
Big Stone, Cottonwood, Jackson, Lac Qui Parle, Lincoln, Lyon, Murray, Nobles, Pipestone, Redwood, Rock, Traverse and Yellow Medicine
A Red Flag Warning means the area is experiencing weather conditions that are ideal for wildfire, including strong winds and minimal humidity levels. Any fires that develop will likely spread rapidly. Residents should not burn in those counties where a Red Flag Warning is in effect and should check any recent burning to ensure the fire is completely out.
The Red Flag Warning is in effect today from noon to 7:00 p.m.
For more information and daily updates on current fire risk and open burning restrictions, visit the statewide fire danger and burning restrictions page of the DNR website (mndnr.gov/BurnRestrictions).
