@NWS
issued a Red Flag Warning for 85 counties due to extreme fire risk. Also, near-critical fire weather is predicted in Cook and Lake counties. In these conditions, wildfires can start easily and quickly spread. Don't burn today! 🚩

Chimney fires are a common type of cold-weather fire, but they are totally preventable! If you have a wood burning fireplace, be sure to take care of this regular maintenance to keep your home safe while being cozy 🔥

With unseasonable temperatures and very little rain, we are in a high/ very high fire danger rating here in the Metro Area.
The only types of fires allowed in Minnetonka are recreational fires for hanging out and having s'mores, not burning leaves or twigs. Please be safe!

Please observe a moment of silence as we did today in honor of the 343 fallen firefighters who ran towards the danger and destruction on September 11th, 2001. They made the ultimate sacrifice in service to their fellow New Yorkers and our nation.

We welcomed five new firefighters and recognized several promotions at a badge pinning ceremony Aug. 21. More than 70 people attended the program, including family members who were invited to pin badges on their loved ones. Congrats and welcome!

Happy 80th Birthday, Smokey!
As the nation’s longest running public service campaign, Smokey has shown generations how to prevent wildfires. With over 80% of wildfires being started accidentally or by carelessness, Smokey's message is as relevant today as it was in 1944.

Today the crew is working on hose testing.
We test our fire hose yearly to ensure it will perform in any emergency. We have just under 30,000 feet of hose, which is about 5 miles - the length of Minnetonka Blvd from the west border to the east border of the city!

As temps increase this week, remember to: stay cool, stay hydrated and informed; check on your neighbors, friends and family; reduce time outside and cool off in AC; and keep kids and pets cool and safe.
