Published on 04/22/2019 under News The Northwoods region is dealing with both flooding issues and fire danger at the same time. The quick spring melt has caused this interesting juxtaposition of flood and fire risks. Melting snow and rainfall combined with still frozen ground has led to the flood issues. Earlier Monday morning the National Weather Service extended a flood watch for most of Northeastern Wisconsin including Lincoln, Langlade, Oneida and Vilas Counties. At the same time, area vegetation has yet to green up creating the fire risk. According to the DNR's fire danger assessment, the fire danger for the southern third of the state is 'very high.' The central third of the state, as far north as Taylor, Lincoln, and Langlade Counties, are in the 'high' risk designation. According to the DNR wildfire report, firefighters responded 61 wildfires over the past week stretching to all four corners of the state. That includes three fires in Lincoln County.
