"Wisconsin Faces Heightened Wildfire Threat Amidst Cecil Fire Battle"

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is urging the public to avoid outdoor burning as the state continues to face elevated fire danger, responding to over 35 wildfires in a single day and battling a major fire in Shawano County. The hot, dry, and windy conditions have fueled numerous wildfires across the state, with one fire in Cecil quickly spreading due to the wind and cattails. Fire departments and the DNR have been working to contain the blazes, emphasizing the high risk of fires getting out of control in such conditions.
