Crookston Fire Department Chief Shane Heldstab released the following statement earlier this afternoon. “I have been in contact with USGS, and they have confirmed the ice has caused the gauge to not be reading correctly. When the river level rises, and the ice clears out the gauge will work as before. At this time, we are monitoring the levels at the fire hall and will keep track of any changes that could happen.”
