The largest wildfire in Wisconsin, the Germann Road Fire, has burned 9,026 acres in Gordon and Highland (Douglas County) and has destroyed seventeen homes and at least 30 outbuildings. The fire, which started near a logging area on Tues. May 14, is 90 percent contained. I understand that SEATS from WI and MN have worked the fire and possibly other aerial resources as well. Red Flag Warnings remain up in WI until 9 PM Wed. May 15.
updated on July 18, 2013: video that I had embedded here with a report on the Germann Road Fire is no longer available. :-(
