Fire highlights the generosity of community




Thank you to the wonderful Cook County community for its support during the Pagami Creek fire. When our home and business were threatened by the fire, we received an outpouring of offers to help, evacuation havens and general moral support.

The U.S. Forest Service kept us informed and focused on our safety and that of our customers. The Cook County Sheriff ’s Office and our local Minnesota Conservation officers spent countless hours protecting us and the public. Our local volunteer fire departments stood ready to pitch in if needed.

Everyone knows that this is a great place to live, but it really hits home when you find yourself on the receiving end of community generosity.
