The dried out conditions growing more serious, espcially for firefighters. And they're not just worried about brush fires. Some departments can't find water to put out the flames. It’s especially true in Southeast Wisconsin, where there are no hydrant systems and water is getting harder to come by in the severe drought.
As water sources dry up, firefighters say they'll have to go further to get it, which could impact response times.
