Great Lakes Forest Fire Compact (GLFFC) partners @MNDNR & @MichiganDNR pooled together a 3rd crew of 26-firefighters to support Manitoba's ongoing needs. The crew left MN Thursday for the 22,055-hectare WE027 fire near Grand Rapids, Manitoba. Thank you, firefighters! Be safe!
ALT The Great Lakes Forest Fire Compact partners Minnesota DNR and Michigan DNR joined together to form third fire crew of 26-person firefighters from both agencies. This crew will travel to the WE027 wildfire near Grand Rapids Manitoba, the same fire the previous two fire crews from Minnesota supported.
ALT The crew supervisor briefs (meets) with crew members to talk through travel expectations and procedures ahead of departing for Winnipeg, Manitoba on Thursday. Similar briefings will be a common part of this crew’s daily experience while on assignment.

Take action to protect the health of your family and the environment. Burning garbage affects health and contaminates air, soil, and water, and even gets into the food chain. Find alternatives to burning @MnPCA pca.state.mn.us/sites/defaul…

Escaped debris burns are the #1 cause of wildfires in Minnesota. You MUST have a permit to burn debris when there’s less than 3” of snow on the ground.
Better idea: skip burning and compost, chip, or mulch instead.

Another Minnesota county goes under quarantine for EAB.
The single best thing we can do to slow the spread of EAB is to not move firewood.
Buy (or gather) it where you burn it.
