MADISON, WI (Wisconsin Radio Network) -The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources urges people to avoid burning through the weekend due to anticipated high winds. The forecast indicates strong, windy conditions through Saturday. Easter Weekend is traditionally a popular time for people to be cleaning up their yards. The D-N-R asks the public not to burn debris since embers from any fire can easily escape control and cause a wildfire, and this risk increases on windy days. The D-N-R has responded to 126 wildfires burning more than 309 acres so far this year, most were related to debris burning.
