The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources is asking everyone to use extreme caution with fireworks and campfires this Fourth of July weekend.
High fire danger is expected statewide with warm temperatures and dry conditions. There are burning restrictions in many north-central Minnesota counties and an unintentional spark could ignite a wildfire.

There have been more than 14-hundred wildfires since March in Minnesota.
