With 58 wildfires under their belt just this spring, and with fire danger rising, the U.S. Forest Service in Cadillac is training to keep Northern Michigan unscorched right now.<\/span><\/p>\n They\u2019re blaming it on the lack of rain, low humidity and whipping winds.<\/span><\/p>\n Agencies across the area are doing what they can to make people aware of the danger, and make sure they\u2019re able to respond quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n One of the big things done on the ground to fight a wildfire is creating a handline.<\/span><\/p>\n This tactic is so that when the fire reaches the handline it will stop because of the dirt and lack of vegetation.<\/span><\/p>\n U.S.<\/span> forest service fire staff officer Chris Peterson says the size of the handline is determined by the size of the fuel or grass.<\/span><\/p>\n The U.S. Forest Services brought in additional resources such as planes and bulldozers to help with stopping the fires in Northern Michigan.<\/span><\/p>\n Overall Peterson says weather like Thursday with low humidity and a breeze aid in wildfires starting.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe biggest thing is obviously talking to the public and reaching out for the opportunities. Saying today\u2019s not a good day to burn so we suggest people pay attention to the Michigan DNR burn permit page every morning usually updated by 10 a.m.,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
