Air Quality Alert

Minnesota Pollution Control Agency has updated the air quality alert to include the northern half of Minnesota beginning August 16th at 6 p.m. until August 19th at noon.

To reduce additional air pollutants, burning permits will not be issued or activated. Campfires are discouraged.

For up-to-date information on fire danger and burning restrictions visit  www.mndnr.gov/burnrestrictions.

The air quality is expected to reach the orange air quality index, a level considered unhealthy for sensitive groups.
