Important Message!: Recent ice storms have led to downed trees and debris throughout Central Wisconsin including Portage County. Landowners are in the process of cleaning up their yards and many will choose to burn the debris as a means of disposal. The Wisconsin DNR asks that you take extra precautions if you choose to burn as Wisconsin is now entering into the most critical portion of their wildland fire season. GET A FREE DNR BURN PERMIT, check the conditions BEFORE burning and follow the rules for the day. Get a DNR burn permit @: https://apps.dnr.wi.gov/burnpermits/ Check WisBurn for the current fire danger and daily burn restrictions: https://apps.dnr.wi.gov/wisburn/#/FireDanger Check after 9am each morning you wish to burn for current/daily burning regulations. Make sure your fire is dead out when done. Consider alternatives to burning including chipping, mulching, composting etc. or wait until after June 1 to burn. Note that the person responsible for the fire is also responsible for all costs and related damages if the fire escapes their control. Thank You and… Remember Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires!
