Permit For Controlled Burn Near I-4
The day before a series of catastrophic crashes on Interstate 4, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission conducted what was to be a controlled burn of 10 acres of land. The permit, issued by the state Division of Forestry, met all weather and other conditions for a safe burn.
But conditions changed and the fire grew out of control, mushrooming to cover 400 acres. Some say smoke from the fire mixing with early morning fog cut visibility on I-4 to a few feet.
Read the permit here.

Please read the burn application closely. The permit was for Feb. 8, not Jan. 8. Someone needs to check conditions for both days and compare them to the permit app. Also, FWC does not have many burn cert people. One burn boss and a handful of “newbies” is a dangerous situation. Please check to see if they really had 6 people and if those people have multiple or a just a few burns. FWC also always puts out press releases on burns in that area. What happpened this time? None on their Web site even.
