The recent weather may make it feel like spring to you, but it could be potentially dangerous for local fire departments in Door and Kewaunee counties. Currently, only seven northern Wisconsin are at moderate to low fire danger. The rest of the state is split evenly between high and very high fire danger levels, with Door County rated as high and Kewaunee County rated as very high.

Door County fire departments responded to three fires this weekend, two related to brush or grass fires. On Saturday, Nasewaupee Fire and Rescue responded to a small grass fire near Malvitz Road after an ember from a yard waste fire set less than an acre of nearby grass on fire. Kyle Sheehy says it is a good reminder that you have to be careful burning right now.

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources also reminds you that burn restrictions and fire conditions can change daily. The agency also says you should follow the rules on your burn permit, never leave a fire unattended, and call 911 immediately if it escapes beyond your control.
