“A red alert was sent out for the city of Verndale, radio stations were contacted and Wadena public health was called. Fire Chief Mike Madsen and Emergency Operations Manager Steve Schmitz took point and the Verndale fire department along with some of their family members, the Wadena County Sheriff’s Department and the Verndale Police Officer canvassed the area to get the flyers [to notify residents] out as fast as possible,” said Mayor Raye Ludovissie.
