The rapid melt of snow in northern Minnesota has forced the Department of Natural Resources to impose burning restrictions in three counties.

Effective this Friday at 8 in the morning, restrictions will be imposed in Koochiching, Lake of the Woods, and Roseau counties.

Officials says the restrictions will remain in effect until the threat of wildfires decreases.
