Authorities responded to four fire calls Sunday, just a few days after the state Department of Natural Resources warned of an increased fire threat because of dry conditions.
A grass fire on Larsen Road in Green Valley started just before noon and spread to a nearby barn, while another grass fire a short time later on County Road C in Angelica also burned an abandoned warehouse, according to authorities.
Firefighters from multiple departments responded.
Also on Sunday, an outdoor stove on Cherry Road in the town of Herman started a fire that burned a maple syrup shed.
A grass fire was also reported on Sunrise Road in Waukechon.
The DNR warned late last week that fire danger was rising due to the recent surge in temperatures and an unusually early spring.
