DNR Warns of Winter Wildfire Risk

It is February and there’s already a wildfire warning across large parts of Wisconsin.

The DNR yesterday warned people about the lack of snow cover, and the growing fire danger. The DNR says this year has seen an abnormally warm winter, and that is leaving a lot of dry brush across the state. High winds are not helping either. The DNR says it has already responded to over 50 fires that burned 160 acres. There are burn bans in place in 25 Wisconsin counties.
