Multiple rounds of strong to severe storms will occur through this evening, then again on Thursday afternoon and evening. Storms this morning will mostly pose a damaging wind threat. All hazards of severe weather, including tornadoes, are possible this afternoon into this evening. The main hazards on Thursday will be large hail and damaging winds. Heavy rain is expected, which could lead to localized flooding. Be sure to monitor for forecast updates as details will change. Have multiple ways to receive warnings!

With severe weather possible over the next couple of days, now is the time to know where your safe place is located.

👉 For houses and apartments: Get to the lowest level of the building. Go to an interior room away from windows.
👉 If you are in a mobile home, you may need to leave if a tornado watch is issued and head to a safer and more sturdy building. This is to allow you time to get to a safe location before a tornado warning is issued.

The kids have been yelling “SIX SEVEN” like it unlocks a secret level at recess, and after extensive research, interviews, and staring blankly into the abyss, we have determined that it means… ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

So in honor of 6/7, here are 6 or 7 safety tips, because apparently numbers are vibes now:

1. Check your smoke alarms.
2. Don’t leave the grill unattended unless you want dinner with a side of flashing red lights.
3. Hydrate before your body starts sending “low battery” alerts.
4. Don’t plug 67 things into one outlet. That power strip is tired, boss. Let it rest before it turns into a spicy noodle.
5. Keep candles away from curtains, pets, and chaotic little hands.
6. Wear sunscreen. Lobster is a food group, not a skin tone.
7. And for the love of everything holy, have a plan if something goes wrong.

Stay safe. Stay hydrated. And if your kid says “six seven” 47 times today, just know we’re praying for you!

SIX SEVEN!

Our volunteers had a busy afternoon, responding to two separate power line calls at the same time. Thank you to White Lake Fire Department, Antigo DNR, and Alliant Energy for responding with us today.

DNR Burn Restrictions

Langlade County

Fire Danger: VERY HIGH

Burning Permit Restrictions
Due to fire weather conditions, burning is not allowed today. All DNR-issued burning permits are suspended. Burning in barrels, debris piles, and grass or wooded areas with your DNR annual burning permit is prohibited. Campfires, though strongly discouraged, are allowed if used solely for cooking or warming purposes, but please use extreme caution. Consider having small campfires in a designated fire ring or device in the evening hours to avoid burning under elevated fire conditions typically found during the day.
