Amid red flag warning, firefighters battling blazes around state Sunday

Firefighters were battling a wildfire in the river beds between Normandale Boulevard and France Avenue in Bloomington, but having difficulty extinguishing the blaze Sunday afternoon because of flooding.

Meanwhile, the National Weather Service issued a red flag warning of extreme fire danger for most of the state until 7 p.m. Sunday, saying gusty winds, low humidity and dry conditions had created “critical fire weather conditions.”
