A Wisconsin DNR Incident Management Team spokesperson said one wildfire is under control and another is still burning Thursday morning.
Mike Hillstrom told 27 News that a fire in Necedah, dubbed the Jack Pine fire, and a fire near Fort McCoy are being fought together as the "Black River Complex." The DNR's Incident Management Team is leading the response to both.
Hillstrom says the Jack Pine fire is contained and controlled, with first responders monitoring for flare ups. He said it's burned about 87 acres and the cause of the fire remains under investigation. Hillstrom said the Fort McCoy fire is about 50% contained and has burned around 2,800 acres of land. Crews fought the fire on the north end base overnight and will continue to throughout Thursday. Most of the land are pine and oak forests outside of the base, but he said some neighborhoods could have to evacuate.
