TOWN OF GORDON, Wis. -- Firefighters brought the largest wildfire to hit northern Wisconsin in decades under control on Thursday and planned to spend the day reworking lines containing the 9,000-acre fire and tackling hot spots, a Department of Natural Resources spokesman said.
The fire that began Tuesday destroyed 17 homes and 30 other structures in Douglas and Bayfield counties. Gov. Scott Walker was expected to tour areas damaged by the blaze on Thursday.
