Burn Ban In Effect

The Wisconsin DNR is asking people to avoid burning this week due to elevated fire danger throughout the state. Warm temperatures, low humidity, and breezy conditions are in the forecast for the beginning part of this week. Although parts of the state are predicted to see rain on Wednesday, the precipitation is expected to miss the northern part of Wisconsin. On windy, dry days, embers from any fire, especially burn piles and campfires, can easily escape control and cause a wildfire if not properly extinguished
