The spring flames there are a warning sign of what could be an active fire season out in the coming months. Advertisement In Wisconsin, Gov. Tony Evers declared a state of emergency on Monday in response to the state’s elevated wildfire risk. According to a Sunday press release from Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources, the majority of the state was facing “very high fire danger” over the weekend. There have been at least 340 fires statewide since the start of 2021. Several have prompted evacuations, including the weekend’s particularly brutal brush fire in Menomonee Falls, which forced 52 households to evacuate. Some fires are still burning in the central part of the state.
