These “critical fire” danger warnings from NOAA are really starting to wear on me. Living in drought conditions for 2 years is killing everything.

It might be our turn to burn like Canada.

    The fire near Waseca was uncomfortably close to my inlaws. I agree, this is going to be the summer of out of control fires unless we can actually get a good amount of rain.
