(Wisconsin Radio Network) Spring is wildfire season in Wisconsin.
According to the Wisconsin Radio Network, Department of Natural Resources Wildfire Prevention Specialist Catherine Koele said there’s an increasing risk of “crown fires” in the pine woods of northern Wisconsin, and she suggests property owners in those areas put off any burning for now.
It’s important to know fire conditions and burning permit restrictions in your area. Check the DNR website for that. The DNR has already responded to about 600 wildfires this year.
