The Fond du Lac Fire and Rescue Brush Response ATV was used to help extinguish a marsh fire Tuesday night. Shortly after 11pm Tuesday firefighters were called to Lakeshore Drive just north of Howard Litscher Drive encountering a dry marsh grass on fire, which was quickly spreading to the east. It took crews about 45 minutes to extinguish the fire. Van Dyne Fire Department assisted on scene with water supply needs. “The very dry weather conditions and strong winds we are experiencing create an extreme fire risk for grass and marsh fires”, said Interim Fire Chief Erick Gerritson. The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time.
