The spring burning restrictions are lifted effective immediately for all counties in Minnesota.
You may see a news release which states that the date is May 26. We moved the date up to today due to the widespread rain we received over the weekend.
The following counties will return to normal burning permits at 6:00 PM today in the Bemidji Forestry Area: Beltrami, Clearwater, Hubbard, Cass, Polk, Red Lake, & Mahnomen. Burning permits may be issued for hand piled debris and running grass less than one acre for up to three days; hours are 6:00 PM to 8:00 AM; permits must be activated each evening before burning. Daytime burns, running fires, and large slash piles will require a variance permit approved by a Forester. Campfires do not require a permit.
