Multiple Wildfires Contained and Evacuations Underway in Wisconsin

A wildfire that burned through about 100 acres near Necedah, Wisconsin, has been contained, but crews remain in the area to ensure there are no hotspots or burning within the contained fire. Evacuations were underway near 19th Street West, 12th Avenue, and 11th Avenue. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. The warm temperatures, low relative humidity, and very windy conditions all contributed to a high risk of wildfires, prompting Gov. Tony Evers to declare a state of emergency.
