A temporary ban on recreational fires within the city limits of Marshfield has been issued by the
Marshfield Fire and Rescue Department beginning today, Wednesday, April 12, 2023. The National
Weather Service recently issued a Red Flag Warning for most of central and southern Wisconsin due
to strong winds, very low relative humidity, warm temperatures, and dryness, which can create
dangerous fire conditions. As a result, outdoor burning should not be attempted.
The burning ban, including recreational fires, will remain in effect until weather conditions improve
and the National Weather Service lifts the Red Flag Warning.
