A large vegetation fire in Door County kept local fire departments there busy Tuesday, October 28, 2025.

Shortly before 3:30 p.m. a brush fire was called in, in the southern portion of the county, reportedly started by a 4 wheeler.

The fire quickly spread with smoke visible from miles around.

Fire fighters from 20 different fire departments were called in to fight the blaze which took several hours to contain.
