Michigan DNR staff are conducting a prescribed fire today in Menominee County. The 143-acre burn is intended to improve wildlife habitat by maintaining beneficial grassy openings.

Prescribed burns are one tool utilized for conservation to improve habitat and tackle invasive species. Highly-trained fire crews conduct these burns during appropriate weather conditions, cooperating with local authorities and units of government.

As public safety is always a priority, these burns may be canceled on short notice if conditions change.

More info on this prescribed fire can be found in the comments.
