Fire crews with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources spent hours Saturday fighting a wildfire in the Necedah Wildlife Refuge.
Officials say 234 acres were burned in Juneau County.
After the flames consumed upland grass and some timber, things slowed down when they reached some wet ground in the state-protected marsh.
Debris burning is being blamed for starting the fire.
Four or five structures were threatened at one time, but no damage was done and no injuries were reported.
Fire crews stayed on the scene Sunday checking for hot spots.
