Another brush fire in the area was put out quickly by the Brussels-Union-Gardner Fire Department on Tuesday.  The BUG Fire Department was dispatched at about 4:30 p.m. for a fire just off Eden Lane in the Town of Gardner.  Captain Pat O’Hern says the fire started on the shore and reached a wooded area, but was quickly contained.

O’Hern adds that about 150 gallons of water were used to douse the fire.  With current fire danger at a high level across the state, including Door and Kewaunee counties, local officials and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources are advising people to avoid any outside burning.  The DNR and local fire departments responded to over 90 wildfires in the past week. The Town of Egg Harbor already placed a burning ban in effect Tuesday until the area receives substantial rainfall.
