Senator Baldwin Probes Fort McCoy Fires

A Wisconsin senator wants some answers about this month’s wildfire at Fort McCoy.

Senator Tammy Baldwin yesterday sent a letter to the Army asking about the controlled burn at the fort that may have sparked the wildfire. That fire burned over three thousand acres and forced some people to evacuate their homes. Commanders at the fort say they have not yet determined if their controlled burn started the fire, though Fort McCoy is currently accepting damage claims because of the fire. Baldwin wants to know what kind of risk assessment the Army does before starting its controlled fires.
