Homeowner in path of Waushara County marsh fire grateful her house still stands

VIDEO: The Wisconsin DNR has confirmed an ATV driving through dry marsh lands caused the 400-acre wildfire east of Redgranite on Sunday. On Monday night, that fire was 99 percent contained.

A majority of the state is in the โ€œhighโ€ fire danger category on Monday, including the southern part of Northeast Wisconsin, because of the dry conditions. โ€œIt was a very emotional day. It still is. Itโ€™s raw,โ€ said Gwen Drolshagen.

It was a chaotic day for Gwen Drolshagen, who was told to evacuate her home late Sunday morning. She was forced to grab only what she could, including one priceless photo: a wedding photo of her great grandmother and great grandfather.
