High Fire Danger Expected This Weekend

Saturday, March 20th, 2021 -- 10:01 AM

Now more than ever, our favorite outdoor spaces are playing an important role in our lives.

Together, we can keep these safe places safe. Whether we are out in nature or home in our backyards, remember that it's our role to protect the lands we love by preventing wildfires and recreating responsibly.

With weekend forecasts predicting warm temperatures, fairly low humidity and high winds, the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources expects fire danger to be high across the state this weekend.

With Wisconsin wildfire season underway, the DNR reminds Wisconsinites to be fire smart this spring and get their free annual burning permit.  Unlike out west, the spring is the most dangerous time for wildfires in Wisconsin.

After the snow melts and before plants, trees and grass turn green, fires can spread quickly.  Fire danger is high today across much of the state including here in Clark County as well as our neighboring counties of Chippewa, Eau Claire, Jackson, Marathon, Taylor, and Wood.
