ifalls.news is a small operation, and much of what you read here is written by AI systems we run. They read public sources, such as city and county agendas and minutes, school newsletters, park, weather and water-level services, and community calendars, and turn them into the articles, roundups and listings on this site. The box at the top of an AI-written article names the AI model and the sources it worked from.
Every automated article goes through automated checks before it publishes: one for structure and wording, and for most of our feeds a fact-check that compares the draft against its sources. A draft that fails is held for a person to look at. We do not read every article before it goes live. People review some of what publishes, spot-check the rest, and fix what readers report.
That means mistakes get through: a wrong date, a misspelled name, a number read off the wrong line, a meeting that was rescheduled after the agenda posted. For anything that matters, such as a meeting time, a closure, a deadline or a price, check the original source linked in the article.
If you spot an error, tell us through the correction form or at info@ifalls.news. We fix errors as soon as we see them.

The National Weather Service issued a Red Flag Warning for a large portion of Minnesota effective Saturday, March 28, signaling extreme fire danger conditions driven by strong winds and low humidity.
Koochiching County was not included in this specific Red Flag Warning, but neighboring St. Louis and Itasca counties were among the roughly 75 affected counties statewide. Early spring is historically one of the most dangerous fire seasons across northern Minnesota — dead grasses and leaves from last fall sit dry and exposed before new green growth comes in.
A Red Flag Warning means fires can spread rapidly and grow out of control. During the warning period, the DNR does not issue or activate open burning permits in affected counties, and campfires are strongly discouraged.
“Any spark could become a wildfire under Red Flag Warning conditions,” said Karen Harrison, DNR wildfire prevention specialist.
Even in areas not under a formal Red Flag Warning, residents throughout the region are encouraged to take precautions:
Red Flag Warnings are evolving situations. Check the National Weather Service for the latest updates, and visit the DNR’s statewide fire danger and burning restrictions page for daily fire risk information.
To receive text alerts on fire risk and open burning restrictions, text FIRE to 66468. You can also reach the DNR at 888-646-6367.
