Brainerd Area Fire Threat Still High

Crow Wing County Sheriff Todd Dahl says it will take more than the light drizzle we had this morning to reduce the wild fire threat. He says a bonfire this weekend may have lead to house fire in Garrison. The Sheriff says one of his high school classmates woke the family living there.
Sheriff Dahl is warning folks to be careful not only with bonfires, but also with backyard grilling.
He says 98 percent of the wild fires are caused by human activity. The green-up is still a few weeks away.
