Burning Restrictions
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources has expanded the area under burning restrictions. Several counties in northern Minnesota are now under burning restrictions, including Becker, Clearwater, Lake of the Woods, and Itasca. Restrictions remain in place for several other counties, including Stearns, Benton, Morrison, Douglas and Todd Counties. The DNR will not issue permits for the open burning of brush or yard waste in these counties until the restrictions are lifted. The DNR says people cause more than 90 percent of wildfires in Minnesota. If a fire rekindles or escapes, the person who set it is liable for any damage it causes. Much of Minnesota is under a Red Flag Warning from 11:00 a.m. until 8:00 p.m. on Monday due to the high risk of potential wildfires.
Gas Prices
Average gasoline prices declined in 48 states over the last week, while diesel prices fell in 46 states. However, Gas Buddy says that relief may be short-lived. Oil prices surged in Sunday night trading after Iran re-closed the Strait of Hormuz and President Trump signaled further escalation if Tehran does not come to an agreement. As a result, gas prices are likely to rise again in the coming days. Average gasoline prices in Minnesota have fallen 8.0 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.66. The national average price of gasoline has fallen 9.4 cents per gallon in the last week, averaging $3.97. The national average price of diesel has decreased 11.7 cents compared to a week ago and stands at $5.50.
