You can expect Door and Kewaunee counties’ fire danger to continue to rise until potentially Thursday, thanks to the warm temperatures, wind, and lack of precipitation. After being in the moderate fire danger last week, Door and Kewaunee counties and nearly two dozen other counties were elevated to high. According to the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, a fire danger of high means wildfires ignite easily, spread rapidly, and can be challenging to control. As was the case last, several other counties have it worse. Seventeen counties are in the very high categories, while nineteen counties, including Marinette County, are in the extreme fire danger level. At that stage, wildfires start easily, spread furiously, burn intensely, and are difficult to control. Thursday appears to be the area’s next best chance at precipitation, but even that is at a 30 to 40 percent chance. No burn bans exist, but the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources 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.
