Please note that open burning is prohibited today; however, campfires are permitted, but this status may change rapidly. For further information, please visit the MN DNR website.

Thank you,

Escaped debris fires are the #1 cause of wildfires in Minnesota. You must have a permit to burn debris. Check this page to find out the current fire danger rating level and burning restrictions.

Two fires in 15 hours presented a significant challenge for our community. The extremely cold temperatures caused difficulties with water tenders, engines, hose lines, and most notably, posed risks to our firefighters and EMS personnel. However, I would like to extend a heartfelt appreciation to our mutual aid departments for their invaluable assistance this morning and last night, particularly in responding to the structure fires in Dakota Valley and the city of Dakota. When we collaborate, we can achieve remarkable outcomes, demonstrating that together, there is little we cannot accomplish. Special thanks are due to Nodine Fire, Dakota Fire, Pickwick Fire, Ridgeway Fire, Winona county emergency manager Ben Klinger and the City of La Crescent for their crucial support with water supply. To the affected homeowners, we offer our sincerest condolences for your loss.

Early this morning, Nodine Fire was paged out to a small grass fire along I-90.
With the high winds yesterday and as dry as it is, a “small” fire can change quickly.
Luckily fire crews were able to get this one out before it jumped the road where the state park begins just on the other side.
