PARTS OF DNR BURNING PERMIT SYSTEM DOWN

The Minnesota DNR is alerting you to a temporary issue with its burning permit system.  Currently, phone services are down, meaning permits can’t be activated through the website, but if you rely on text or phone notifications, you won’t receive any messages.  Only email alerts are working at this time.  If you activate a permit online, the DNR recommends updating your account settings to receive messages by email until the system is restored.  And if you have a written permit or need to activate by phone, you’re asked to wait to burn until the system is back up and running.    The DNR says it will send out an update once everything is working again.
