Red Flag Warning issued! :tut:

Extreme fire conditions today have resulted in the National Weather Service issuing a Red Flag Warning for the following counties:

Anoka, Benton, Blue Earth, Brown, Carver, Chippewa, Chisago, Dakota, Douglas, Faribault, Freeborn, Goodhue, Hennepin, Isanti, Kanabec, Kandiyohi, Lac Qui Parle, Le Sueur, Martin, McLeod, Meeker, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Nicollet, Pope, Ramsey, Redwood, Renville, Rice, Scott, Sherburne, Sibley, Stearns, Steele, Stevens, Swift, Todd, Waseca, Washington, Watonwan, Wright, and Yellow Medicine.

A Red Flag Warning means the area is experiencing critical weather conditions that are ideal for wildfire, including strong winds and minimum humidity values. Do not burn while the Red Flag Warning remains in effect and check any burning done recently to ensure the fire is out. Any spark could become a wildfire under Red Flag conditions.

The Red Flag Warning expires at 6 p.m.

Stay connected, stay safe:
•Check the statewide fire danger and current burning restrictions webpage, which the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources updates daily.
•Follow @mnforestry (DNR Forestry) on Twitter for up-to-date information on statewide fire conditions.
•Follow @mnics (Minnesota Incident Command System) for information on large wildfires.

Yesterday on the way back from my land I encountered 4 DMR fire trucks on the gravel road.  They had just extinguished a fire burning in a swamp near a residence.  I ask them how it started and their answer was "I really doubt it was lightning" and we are waiting for the sheriff.  Landowner may be in trouble.
