MFD had the honor to meet crews from Ontario who were deployed here to help with the many large wildfires across the state. The Minnesota DNR has been very proactive in getting resources here during these critical fire danger days. MFD has been on standby with crews staffed at the hall ready to assist the Minnesota DNR since Friday. Please be mindful and do your part to help prevent wildfires in our area.

We’re deploying three fire engines accompanied by three FireRanger crews to assist with the wildland fire situation in Minnesota.

Ontario is a member of the Great Lakes Forest Fire Compact (GLFFC), a partnership with Manitoba, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin. This Compact operates under the broader Alliance of Forest Fire Compacts, allowing member jurisdictions to share personnel, equipment and aircraft during periods of heightened wildland fire activity.

Lastnight members from the McGregor Fire Department attended a safety class put on by Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative. It was a great opportunity to learn about all of the hazards first responders face with power lines and other electrical equipment such as solar panels and generators. Topics ranged from grass fires ignited from down power lines to vehicle accidents involving power lines, transformers and even natural gas hazards. We can’t urge the public enough to please stay away from down power lines even if you think it’s not live. Always wait until you get the ok from a first responder or utility worker. Multiple Department from the area attended this free class. A big thank you to Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative for hosting a great class and providing a great meal.

🚒 HUGE shout out to the Aitkin Fire Department, McGregor Fire Department, and Palisade Fire Departments 🚒

Last night, while most of us were safely inside trying to stay warm, these incredible men and women were out in –30° temperatures battling a structure fire. They left their families, their warm homes, and their comfort behind to answer the call and protect our communities.

I cannot express how grateful and thankful I am for these public servants who show up without hesitation, no matter the conditions. Their commitment, courage, and passion for helping others—especially in cold that none of us want to be out in—does not go unnoticed.

Please help me give a special THANK YOU to these firefighters for their dedication and unwavering service to our communities. We are truly blessed to have you. ❤️👨‍🚒👩‍🚒
