Burning Restriction to be Lifted Next Week

Despite the wet conditions around the Brainerd Lakes Area, open burning restrictions remain in place.

Minnesota Fire Center Information Officer Jean Goad says a warm, windy and sunny day can quickly change the fire threat.

Goad tells KLKS News, with the green-up finally underway, the fire restriction should be lifted in a week.

Fire restrictions have already been lifted from Todd, Morrison and Mille Lacs counties on south.

Camp fires are still permitted, but only in a three foot wide burning pit.
