Impact & Risks

The low fire danger across North Dakota is a positive development for residents and land managers. The combination of rain and high humidity has significantly reduced the likelihood of wildfires. However, U.S. Forest Service fire restrictions remain in place on federal lands, including the Little Missouri National Grassland and the Sheyenne Ranger District, to ensure continued safety and prevention of any potential fire outbreaks.
