    WAUSAU, Wis. (WXCO) – Ashland’s Ackley wildfire burned 23 acres on Monday, closing down a stretch of Highway 2 up north in Wisconsin. Over just the past few months, Wisconsin has lost 2,220 acres of land to wildfires. 658 of them have lit so far this year as Spring is the season most susceptible for them. Before you burn, check the fire danger. Also, watch for equipment sparks. Northern and central parts of the state, the DNR says need to stay vigilant and avoid outdoor burning right now.

    Saturday night I will feature an interview with John Cafferty on WRCO’s Those Were the Days. He and the Beaver Brown band released great music in the 1980’s and after 37 years, they have put out a new album. John is an everyday all-around good guy, and I know that will come across when you hear the interview. His is an amazing story that could be made into a movie. For a group from Rhode Island that went from a bar band to MTV favorites in a matter of months is amazing.
