After the snow came down over the long holiday weekend, burn bans were lifted in areas previously under restrictions. The Nasewaupee Fire Department became the latest to lift its burn ban, ending a nearly month-long hiatus. The Southern Door and Brussels-Union-Gardner fire departments lifted their burn bans on November 25th.

All three departments instituted their burn bans during the first week of November due to dry conditions. With the bans now lifted, you can request a burn permit for any burning beyond a standard campfire, though there may still be some restrictions depending on where you live. Thanks to the weekend snow, the entire state is currently at a low fire danger level.
