Good morning, Grand Forks.

Just before 10 p.m. Monday night, the Grand Forks Fire Department responded to a car fire in a house's garage and quickly put out the blaze, leaving the car a total loss with moderate smoke damage to the home while the residents and their pet were displaced—police and ambulance also assisted as investigators look into the cause.

A Grand Forks man, Reece Ravenhorst, was arrested after video evidence showed him assaulting his girlfriend multiple times—he faces two charges for terrorizing with a dangerous weapon and three domestic violence charges from incidents between October 2023 and February 2024.

Gov. Kelly Armstrong signed a statewide fire emergency order to activate the State Emergency Operations Plan as higher temperatures and low rainfall have worsened drought conditions and raised wildfire risks.

The order directs state agencies to stay ready, and resources have been staged in Dickinson and Bismarck after a fire near Menoken burned 1,200 acres.

Following a unanimous Senate vote last week, the state plans to build a website—mandated by House Bill 1319 and sponsored by Rep. Bernie Satrom—that will show all companies, funds and financial mechanisms in which the Legacy Fund is invested if allowed by law.
