Local authorities ask public to stop burning during dry, windy conditions

The Fond du Lac area continues to see very little if any precipitation falling, with all but nothing on the ground as far as snow cover. As a result, and with the help of some windy conditions, vegetation fires have become a daily issue for some local fire departments, with some responding to multiple fires per day.

The Rosendale Fire Department issued a statement on their Facebook page Friday strongly urging the public to avoid outdoor burning when winds are blowing, saying embers from any fire can easily escape control and cause a fire in a local field or marsh.
