Thanks to the cool, wet spring and early summer, the wildfire season may have been mild up until now … but all of that changed this week.
“We cannot forget 2020. While we had a light season in the spring and early summer of 2020, we all tragically remember the Labor Day firestorm, where just in 72 hours, we lost a significant amount of structures and a little boy’s life,” Franz said.so that 2022 does not resemble 2020. Homeowners should always follow burn ban laws and keep a hose nearby whenever doing any recreational burning. When camping, remember to always fully put out your campfire.
In the meantime, the state says it has plenty of people to fight the fires — and even some to spare to help out other states in need. Since last year’s fire season, the vaccine mandate for state workers went into effect. But Russ Lane, assistant manager of DNR’s Wildfire Division, said the mandate has not created a gap in firefighters. In fact, at nearly 700 firefighters, the state has about 3% more firefighters than it did in 2021.
Franz noted that the vaccine mandate is waived for contracted firefighters from other states “in order to mirror the federal government.”
