"Central Wisconsin Wildfire: Destruction, Injuries, and Community Support"

The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is currently suppressing a 400-acre wildfire in Waushara County, southeast of Coloma. The fire is now 99% contained, with lines along the perimeter holding. Evacuations have taken place, and a few structures have been lost. The cause of the wildfire is under investigation. DNR fire suppression resources, local fire departments, and other agencies are assisting in the efforts. Elevated fire danger due to weather conditions and drought has resulted in several wildfires being suppressed in DNR protection areas.
