Fifteen Nisswa firefighters — along with eight from Pequot Lakes, 11 from Mission Township and about eight from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources — were called at 6:58 p.m. to a wildfire on East Clark Lake Road in Nisswa.
The incident occurred under the Cass County Highway 77 (Interlachen Road) bridge at about 4:20 p.m. when temperatures were forecast in the high 20s or low 30s in the region.
Nisswa firefighters initially responded before calling for mutual aid from Mission to provide water in a tanker truck, according to a call on the police scanner.
"It's my intention we'll make personal contact with each and every resident," Nisswa Police Chief Craig Taylor told the city council during its meeting Tuesday, Feb. 16.
