MADISON, WI (WTAQ) Extreme fire risk led to over 150 wildfires breaking out in Wisconsin over the Easter Holiday weekend. Now, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers is declaring a State of Emergency in response to elevated wildfire conditions throughout the state.
Evers today signed Executive Order #110. The order is designed to support and direct all state agencies of the state of Wisconsin to assist as appropriate in wildfire prevention, response and recovery efforts.
The Wisconsin Army National Guard’s helicopters will also be utilized in support of firefighting efforts and support.
The Brown County Fire Chiefs Association has placed the county under a burning ban. Brown County’s burning ban is in place until further notice. The DNR placed every county in the state in the “very high” fire danger category on Sunday.

Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers has asked a court to force former President Donald Trump, his lawyers, and former Trump campaign attorney Sidney Powell to pay thousands of dollars in legal fees over their presidential election lawsuits.
In court documents filed on Wednesday, attorneys for Evers called lawsuits that disputed the 2020 election results meritless and built on inscrutable conspiracy theories.
He called for $106,000 in sanctions against Powell, and $144,000 against Trump and his attorneys, according to court documents. This litigation imposed significant costs on the taxpayers of Wisconsin, attorneys for Evers said in court documents filed against Trump. Those costs were needless, because Trump s suit never had any merit, this litigation was precluded by exclusive state-court proceedings, and the costs were exacerbated by strategic choices made by Trump and his lawyers.
