Koochiching County emergency officials are asking the public to keep their children and pets away from areas where crews are cleaning from the recent flood.

Contractors are working in several areas removing sandbags.

Drivers are also asked to use caution when travelling through those work zones.

Bicyclists should avoid them altogether.

Contractors are hauling during regular business hours to the County’s Transfer Station but may still work past those hours in some cases.
