Wisconsin DNR Utilizes Air Support to Keep Wildfires Small By Liz Holbrook May 17, 2021 | 7:43 PM RHINELANDER, WI (WSAU-WXPR) — There’s been more than 620 fires recorded in Wisconsin so far this year with more than 1,700 acres burned. For comparison, in the same time frame last year there were 368 fires and less than a third as many acres burned. John A. Jorgensen is the aeronautics team leader for the DNR. He said it’s not necessarily the number of fires that makes this fire season unique, but the length of the season and how widespread fire risk is. “It’s been long and it’s been particularly dry. The last two or three years were pretty wet, but this year we haven’t had that much rain and particularly now we find ourselves very, very dry across the whole northern tier of the state,” said Jorgensen.
