About Wisconsin Wildfire Season
Wisconsin's fire season runs in spring, from March through May, closely tied to how quickly snowmelt clears the ground. Sandy soil pine country in the north, along with prairie grass, pine needles, and leaf litter statewide, provides the fuel. Wisconsin experiences the same spring dip phenomenon documented in neighboring Minnesota, a period when pine needle moisture drops and starch content rises, creating a real risk of individual trees torching or even group crown fire in a state most people associate with lakes and humidity rather than wildfire. Ninety eight percent of Wisconsin's fires are human caused, increasingly concentrated around homes that have been built directly into fire prone forest edges over the past few decades.Wisconsin Fire Map Today
