The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is placing burning restrictions on most counties in Minnesota.

Burning Bans in Stearns, Benton, Sherburne, Wright, Morrison, Hennepin, Mille Lacs and many more will be adjusted as conditions change. Officials say permits will be needed to do any burning in Minnesota.

The DNR will not be issuing permits for open burning of brush or yard waste in these counties until burning restrictions are lifted.
