DNR Fire Danger for today is HIGH and burning permits are REQUIRED again.

Though the fire danger is still in the HIGH range the burning permits have been allowed again. The possibility of rain is forecast for tonight which will help for a little bit but warmer temps are coming back by Sunday and moisture this time of the year doesn't last long. Local forcast http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?site=grb&zmx=1&zmy=1&map.x=67&map.y=223

Caution should be used anytime you are doing anything that could develop into a wildland fire. Over 550 acres have been burned across Wisconsin already this year. http://dnr.wi.gov/topic/ForestFire/report.asp
