The Great Chicago Fire is the reason we have fire prevention week today. We understand that parts of what the fire service is charged with are not popular. Burn bans, open burning regulations, code enforcement and fire inspections. Although those items may be unpopular and cause investments to be made or may cause inconveniences to the public there is a simple reason for them. We don’t want to repeat the devastation that happened 150 years ago. Thank you to everyone for your cooperation in fire prevention. Fire really is everyone’s fight.

In keeping with this year's fire prevention week theme of learning the sounds of safety. We would like to remind everyone of the importance of testing their smoke and CO detectors. Remember to check the expiration date on those detectors as well.

Cooking is the leading cause of home fires and home fire injuries. Remind your community to:

🍳 Keep an eye on what you fry. Most cooking fires start when someone is frying food.
👀 Watch what you are cooking. Fires start when the heat is too high. If you see any smoke or the grease starts to boil, turn the burner off.
🌞 Make sure you are awake and alert. Alcohol and some drugs can make you sleepy.

Remember to safeguard chemicals you use in your home.

✔️ Follow the instructions on the label when you store household chemicals.
✔️ Store household chemicals in their original containers.
✔️ Never store household chemicals that can cause a fire in the sun or near an open flame or heat source.
✔️ Store household chemicals out of the reach of children and pets.
✔️ Use safety locks and guardrails on shelves and cabinets when you store household chemicals. This will prevent them from falling or tipping.

All of Wisconsin is at VERY HIGH fire danger as we head into the Easter holiday weekend. With low humidity and high winds in the forecast, it's critical that you do your part to prevent wildfires this weekend.

Burning permits are suspended across the DNR Fire Protection Area. Outside the DNR Fire Protection Area? Check locally for restrictions.

Any fire could quickly start and spread in these conditions. Avoid all burning, including campfires if possible, and be sure to extinguish and dispose of ci******es properly. Those venturing outdoors should also use caution with off-road vehicles or equipment that can create a spark and start a fire.

There have already been more than 200 wildfires reported in Wisconsin so far this year, burning over 450 acres.

Let's all make Smokey Bear proud.

A little heads up for tomorrow

Headed to the beach or out on the water tomorrow? If you are, use extra caution as gusty winds will create hazardous boating/swimming conditions. Minor lake shore flooding/erosion also possible. Visit weather.gov/grb for more info.
