The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources reminded Minnesotans to be careful of wildfire risk, with warming temperatures through the weekend. The weather has been unusually warm and dry. Brown grasses and vegetation could ignite easily. People were asked to delay planned burning until conditions improve. Fires can burn deep in the organic soil layer, according to the DNR.
