🚫🔥 Burning Discouraged This Weekend 🔥🚫

A Special Weather Statement has been issued for our area by the National Weather Service in Duluth.

Dry conditions combined with breezy winds will create near critical fire weather conditions today (Saturday). Expect:
• Northwest winds of 15–20 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph
• Very low relative humidity values between 15–25%

These conditions make it extremely easy for fires to start and spread rapidly.

⚠️ We strongly urge you NOT to burn this weekend.

Please help protect our community, first responders, and property by avoiding any open burning.

Thank you for your cooperation—stay safe.

Our community is pretty special. ❤️ Lately there have been a lot of great projects and causes asking for support in our area. It’s a great reminder of how much people care about Birchwood and the things that make this community home.

We also know a small community can only stretch so far, so please know there is **no pressure** from us.

As we get closer to our annual Jon Sleik Memorial Golf Tournament (May 17, 2026) you may see a couple of us out visiting local businesses in the coming weeks asking about raffle prizes, donations or sponsorships.

If you’re able to help, we’re incredibly grateful. If not, we completely understand and appreciate the support our department receives from this community every day. 🚑 🚒 🔥 💙

❄️ Snow this week… but golf season is closer than it feels! ⛳️☀️

While several inches of snow may be headed our way, we’re looking ahead to warmer days on the fairway. In just over 9 weeks, we’ll be teeing off at the annual Jon Sleik Memorial Golf Tournament on May 17, 2026!

Now is a great time to start thinking about putting together your team, inviting friends, and planning for a fun day of golf while supporting your local emergency services.

Proceeds from the outing help support our emergency services and ongoing efforts to replace one of our ambulances and continue providing 24/7 care to our community.

⛳ Until then… hang in there through the snow and start dreaming about sunshine, green grass, and a great day on the course.
