A large fire in rural Nevis was put out with the help of air drops from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR), along with ground work by the Nevis Fire Department, Eastern Hubbard County Fire District and DNR engines.
The Minnesota DNR has responded to several small fires in recent days. Residents are advised to check the DNR website (www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/fire/firerating_restrictions.html) for updates on burning restrictions.
After pending weeks fighting fires from the air and on the ground, two DNR employees share their stories.
