 Despite burning restrictions being lifted throughout the area last Wednesday, a wildfire west of Bemidji quickly spreads Saturday afternoon. Firefighters from both Bemidji and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources responded to the wildfire around four o'clock Saturday. The fire was located near a wooded area just west of the new Jean Dillon Elementary School. Firefighters were on scene for approximately four hours and no structures were damaged. The cause of the fire was flying brands from a nearby campfire. Fire danger still remains high with ample dry fuel still available. The department says that 90% of wildfires are caused by people.
