Residents should not burn in counties where a Red Flag Warning is in effect and should also check any recent burning they did to ensure the fire is completely out. The DNR will not issue or activate open burning permits for large vegetative debris burning and discourages campfires during the Red Flag Warning. People should use caution when doing activities that can cause sparks or heat near vegetation by securing trailer chains, parking ATVs on gravel or pavement, and using chainsaws or other equipment outside of the Red Flag warning hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The National Weather Service has issued a Red Flag Warning for four counties in northern<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":235,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-25968","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-incidents"],"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mnics.org\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25968","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mnics.org\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mnics.org\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mnics.org\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/235"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mnics.org\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25968"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mnics.org\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25968\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25970,"href":"https:\/\/mnics.org\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25968\/revisions\/25970"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mnics.org\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25968"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mnics.org\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25968"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mnics.org\/wpress\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25968"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
