The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for 80 counties (including Cook County) in Minnesota effective May 12, due to extreme fire risk conditions.

A Red Flag Warning means fires can spread quickly and grow out of control under the current weather conditions, including low humidity, gusty winds, and dry fuels. Residents should not burn in those counties where a Red Flag Warning is in effect and should check any recent burning they might have done to ensure the fire is completely out. The DNR will not issue or activate open burning permits for large vegetative debris burning during the Red Flag Warning, and campfires are strongly discouraged.  Please review all burning restriction information before any outdoor activity.
