Dwight Fire and Rescue - North Dakota

Thank you Elkhart Brass and Dinges Fire Company - MN & ND for coming to Dwight and presenting “Know Your Flow”.
Multiple departments from around our area came and learned. Well organized class and we got to flow some water! 💧

With some much needed rain hopefully on the way, it’s a good time to share an important reminder.

Dwight Fire responded to five different calls for service yesterday, including both mutual aid and incidents within our own district. All involving grass fires. Each fire was intentionally set with good intentions. However, even with good intent, burn bans are in place for a reason.

We strongly encourage everyone to check current fire conditions before burning and verify whether a burn ban is in effect. This information can be found here:

You may also contact Richland County Dispatch at 701-642-7777 for current burn information.

If a burn ban is in effect and a fire is reported, fire resources will be dispatched to extinguish it.

Let’s hope for some much-needed rain. Please take all necessary precautions before burning and always check current fire danger ratings and restrictions
