“This incident serves as an important reminder to the public to use caution with outdoor activitiesโsuch as campfires, burning leaves, or operating equipment in wooded areasโand to always check local burn restrictions before burning. Even a small spark can quickly spread under dry or windy conditions,” the City of Two Rivers Fire Department said in a news release.
