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.
