We'll be seeing elevated fire danger statewide today and tomorrow, March 12-13, so we're asking the public to avoid burning until conditions improve.

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.

We have already responded to over 50 wildfires across Wisconsin this week alone, bringing the yearly total to 193 fires burning 356 acres. For reference, we had only responded to seven wildfires across Wisconsin at this point last year. The majority of these recent wildfires have been related to debris burning.

If you plan to spend time outdoors this week, we ask you to avoid all outdoor burning, including debris burning and limiting the use of campfires and bonfires. Be sure to discard hot ashes from woodstoves or fireplaces in a metal container until cold. Outdoor enthusiasts should also use caution with any off-road vehicles or equipment that can create a spark and start a fire.

We're also suspending annual burn permits in all DNR protection areas across the state due to current and forecasted conditions. If your property is outside our jurisdiction, please check with local authorities prior to burning. Check our website to learn if your property is within the DNR's protection area or if you need to work with your local township or municipality.

Always check before you burn. Remember – fire danger and burning restrictions change every day.

FIRE SAFETY TIPS
– Avoid outdoor burning until conditions improve. Burn permits for debris burning are currently suspended in numerous counties.

– Operate equipment (chainsaws, off-road vehicles, lawnmowers, etc.) early in the morning or late in the day to avoid sparks at peak burn hours.

– Secure dragging trailer chains.

– Report fires early by calling 911.

This past Saturday, our water rescue team members attended an Ice Rescue Technician course, instructed by Atlas Rescue certified instructor Tony Gurrola of Fillmore and West Bend fire departments.

The course included a morning classroom session and an afternoon of hands-on training, complete with an exhausting team building exercise at the end.

Thank you to the Schneider family for lunch and Bee’s Bakery for the cookies!
