Spring is WILDFIRE Season in Wisconsin –

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) needs your help spreading critical fire safety messaging across the state today and throughout this spring. The DNR is anticipating an extended wildfire season due to lack of measurable snow or rain over the winter months. We’re asking you as your community’s representatives to assist in communicating this important safety reminder that fire danger is HIGH for nearly all of Wisconsin today, March 21. Very low humidity is in the forecast but with lighter winds and cooler temperatures today. Wildfires can still start due to the dry vegetation. Many local municipalities are also suspending burning due to the elevated fire conditions. Already this week, 60 wildfires have burned more than 100 acres across the state. Several of these fires resulting from illegal debris burning, hot ashes disposed improperly from fireplaces due to cooler temperatures and structure fires close to dry vegetation.

Please encourage your constituents to always check fire danger and burn restrictions before burning, as conditions change daily.
Thanks for spreading the word however you’re able and helping keep your constituents and communities safe!
