The DNR is calling the outdoor fire danger in Rock County “very high”, and several area fire departments would agree. Town of Beloit Chief Gene Wright says they were called to separate brush fires Sunday on Cleophas and Paddock Roads . Orfordville also responded to two out-of-control burns Sunday on South Merlet and West Skinner Roads. Edgerton firefighters saved a barn in the 5600 block of West County M early Sunday afternoon when embers from a controlled burn blew onto the roof.
