Burn Permits Suspended in Many WI Counties News | May 6, 2025 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy Burn permits are suspended in 30 Wisconsin counties. The Department of Natural Resources says no precipitation for much of the state, combined with low humidity, makes for increased fire danger. The majority of fire danger is in the northern third of Wisconsin, with parts of central and southwestern Wisconsin affected as well. More than 650 wildfires have burned in Wisconsin so far this year, burning more than 22-hundred acres of land.
