High Wildfire Danger

Burning restrictions are in place for most of the state. Be careful with any outdoor activity that can cause heat or sparks. In these conditions, any spark could cause a wildfire that quickly grows out of control. Burning restrictions will be updated as conditions change.

Burning Restrictions in effect - A message from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources

March 24, 2025 - Wildfire season is here with dry, windy conditions. To reduce the risk of unintentional wildfires, spring burning restrictions began today in parts of central Minnesota.

Burning debris is the number one cause of wildfires in Minnesota. During spring burning restrictions, the state will not issue or activate burning permits for burning brush or yard waste. Spring burning restrictions have helped reduce wildfires by 30% over the last decade.

Burning restrictions will be updated as conditions change. For statewide fire danger & current burning restrictions, go to www.mndnr.gov/burnrestrictions
