On Today’s Show:
The three main Minnesota fires have burned over 20,000 acres, destroying dozens of structures. The Governor has activated the National Guard, and a large crew order has multiple Hotshot crews migrating to the Northwoods.
I give a full operational update of the incidents up there and discuss what it’s like to fight fire in Northern Minnesota and what crews can expect. Red Flag Warnings continue across the region with high temps and low RH.
I also cover the arrest in Alberta of a man who was caught sabotaging firefighting equipment during the Redwater Fire. It's a crazy story.
