Significant progress was made by firefighters to contain the Arcadia Fire by Saturday. A statement released by the Fort McCoy Public Affairs Offices says that the fire has been extinguished. Fort McCoy officials had stated on Friday already that the fire burning on its north border was fully contained, with a spokesperson from the DNR clarifying that the Arcadia fire was at 99%. Fort McCoy officials explained that efforts are now being put into making sure that any hotspots from the fire on the installation’s north border are identified and extinguished. “Fort McCoy’s utmost concern is the safety of our neighbors and their property,” officials with the military installation stated. “We are very thankful for all those who are engaged in fighting the fire and supporting our local community.” As of 4:45 p.m. on Friday, DNR spokesperson Dana Fulton Porter said all road closures have been lifted.
