The wildfire at Fort McCoy burned for another full day yesterday.

The state’s Department of Natural Resources says the fire has burned nearly three thousand acres so far, and is still burning. DNR teams called-in the National Guard, and fire departments from across the area have been working to contain the fire. As of about 7 p.m. last night, DNR said the fire was 50 percent contained. The fire threatened a number of buildings at the fort yesterday, promoting the state to issue an evacuation order for the area near Arcadia Avenue to U.S. Highway 12.
