Wildfire Prevention reminders 

After a dry winter many counties across the state of Minnesota  have already set burn restricts due to increased risk of wildfire. Mike Stearly of the Chippewa National Forest says they’ve already had to deal with wildfire and encourages people to always check burning restrictions before you start a fire. 

Stearly shared some more ways that you can be vigilant, and avoid accidentally setting a wildfire.
