FORT McCOY, WI (WSAU) — The wildfire that’s been burning north of Fort McCoy since Wednesday is almost completely contained.
As of Friday evening, the Department of Natural Resources says the Arcadia Fire is 99% contained, meaning a containment trench around the fire has nearly been completed.
The fire, which started on Wednesday, has burned more than 3,000 acres.
People who’d been ordered to evacuate were allowed to return to their homes and all roads that had been closed were reopened Friday evening. No injuries have been reported with the fire, though a handful of buildings have either been damaged or destroyed.
