Wild Fire Season Delayed In Brainerd Lakes Area

Minnesota has had its first big wild fire this spring, at the Carlos Avery Wildlife area near Forest Lake. The wild fire season in the Brainerd Lakes Area has been set-back with last weeks snow storm. Mark Mortenson tells KLKS News, even when the snow melts, its effects will be beneficial. He says the wet heavy snow forces the old grass to lay flat, reducing the wild fire threat.
Mortenson says the wild fire season has been delayed by a week to 10 days, and possible eliminated if we get spring rain.
