The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) warns of high fire danger across the state due to lack of rainfall, low humidity, and breezy conditions, leading to over 80 wildfires in the past week. The DNR advises the public to avoid outdoor burning, limit campfires, and discard hot ashes from woodstoves or fireplaces in a metal container until cold. Annual burn permits have been suspended in DNR protection areas across the northern two-thirds of the state.
