Most of central and west-central Wisconsin remain under a red flag extreme fire danger warning Friday evening. Warm temperatures and gusty winds drastically increase the chance of wildfires this week, prompting Governor Tony Evers to declare a state of emergency. The Wisconsin DNR reports they have responded to nearly 100 wildfires since last Friday, including a 3,000-acre fire in Monroe County that crews including from the Wisconsin National Guard worked to contain. Officials are urging extreme caution until conditions so favorable to wildfires improve.
