...ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS EXPECTED THROUGH THE MEMORIAL
DAY WEEKEND...

Very dry conditions, with relative humidity falling into the
15 to 25 percent range, will result in elevated wildfire
potential through the Memorial Day weekend. The areas of greatest
concern are the sandy soil regions of northern and central
Wisconsin. Continued dry weather has resulted in an uptick in fire
activity in recent days.

Persons are urged to be careful with any activities that could
potentially lead to a wildland fire. Campfires, outdoor grills,
smoking materials, chain saws, and all-terrain vehicles all have
the potential to throw a spark and ignite a fire. Outdoor burning
should not be attempted. Visit the Wisconsin DNR website at
