MADISON, Wis. — The Wisconsin DNR announced Thursday that fire danger is very high and high across the state entering the weekend.
According to a news release, vegetation is drying out, making it easier for a fire to start and spread quickly.
The DNR said most areas with ‘Very High’ danger are in the northeastern portion and central part of the state, while much of the rest of the state is in ‘High’ danger, including Dane and Rock counties. DNR said there is a ‘Moderate’ fire danger in Iron County.
