DNR lifts all burning bans

Talk about it

The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has lifted seasonal burning restrictions in all Minnesota counties and burning permits for vegetative matter will once again be available.

Heavy rains drenched northeastern Minnesota last week dramatically decreasing the threat of wildfires.

Likewise, the restrictions placed on campfires and fireworks in northeastern Minnesota were also lifted.

Under normal fire restrictions, burning permits are required any time vegetation is burned. Permits are available through state and federal forestry offices, township fire wardens, and online for a $5 annual fee. Municipalities may have stricter regulations regarding the burning of vegetation.
