UPDATE REGARDING WILDLAND FIRES: As of May 14, 2025 at 8:00 a.m., the City of Babbitt Fire Department does not feel that the city is at imminent risk of the wildland fires to the south. If things were to change, notification would be made with plenty of notice for evacuation and the Fire Department is backed with plenty of support from neighboring agencies, along with county, state, and federal resources.
Forecasted weather patterns are favorable to our community community and the fires are still several miles away. Lesser winds, higher humidity, and change in wind direction have put Babbitt at a much lower risk than we were considering, even just 24 hours ago.
