Extreme drought in northern Minnesota was creating the most dangerous fire season in decades as more than 1,500 fires blackened more than 34,000 acres since March. In Bemidji, burning yard waste was prohibited, as was lighting legal fireworks or using a campfire outside of an established fire ring. Bemidji firefighters were responding to more grass fires than usual.
