State Sen. Cory Tomczyk, a Republican from Mosinee, received a ticket from a forest ranger from the Wisconsin Department of National Resources for illegal burning that led to a small brush fire, according to the citation report. On the afternoon of Monday, May 15, the Mosinee Fire Department and the Department of Natural Resources were called to an outdoor fire on Beaver Road in Mosinee, according to the fire report. A DNR tractor plow was deployed to break up a large, smoldering debris pile. Firefighters eventually suppressed the blaze and traced the source to Tomczyk's yard.
