N. WISCONSIN / U.P. – The fire danger for all Northern Wisconsin and the Western U.P. has crept back to Very High. Burn restrictions are in effect for much of the region including banning the open burning of yard debris. A fire danger of VERY HIGH means wildfires start easily, spread rapidly with increased intensity and are difficult to control.
