The Fond du Lac Fire Department has gone door-to-door asking people to voluntarily leave their homes due to the flooding.
Civic leaders there say much of the issue has involved snow and ice from the most recent heavy winter storms.
Crews are trying to break ice jams in the area which could help with alleviating the flooding.
The fire department shared this update Thursday morning:
