The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is conducting prescribed burns in southeast Wisconsin to reduce wildfire risks and restore critical grassland habitats for wildlife. Crews are burning away dead grasses and invasive species to create a healthier environment for native species. Due to drought conditions, there is growing concern about fire danger in the area. Prescribed burns are carefully planned and monitored, taking about a year to get approved. Weather conditions such as wind speeds and humidity play a major role in determining if a burn can proceed. The DNR emphasizes that most wildfires in Wisconsin are caused by humans, not lightning, and urges caution when burning debris. Anyone planning to burn yard debris is advised to wait until evening hours when conditions are calmer. This effort is crucial in maintaining the health of open grasslands and preventing dangerous wildfires in the area.
