Plymouth Fire Department Discourages Outdoor Burning

Due to recent dry weather the Plymouth Fire Department discourages residents to do any outdoor burning even if you have a permit.

According to the city of Plymouth, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has placed Hennepin County in a “restricted burning” status. 

As a result, the Plymouth Fire Department is discouraging any type of burning until the DNR changes the status and the metro area receives substantial rain.
