Tree Pile Burn Planned

FARGO, N.D. – A tree pile within the stormwater diversion channel right of way along Interstate 94 west of Fargo will be burned today, beginning about 2:00 pm. The tree pile will slowly burn through the day today, throughout the day tomorrow, Wednesday, February 25 and possibly into Thursday, February 26. The tree pile is on the north side of I-94, west of 38th St/Exit 342. 

The burn will follow all applicable environmental and safety precautions, aiming to minimize environmental impacts and ensure public safety.

During the burn, the public may see smoke rising from that area. The burn has been coordinated with local fire departments, and we are committed to keeping disruptions to the public as minimal as possible.
