Florida senior forest ranger Andy Lee isn't into scare tactics, but he said it's a fact that we're in a pretty bad fire situation. Drought condition and a freeze that killed off much vegetation has left us prone to possible fires.
On Tuesday night, Lee helped contain a fire in North Port that he estimated had burned 100 acres.
People whose vehicles are low to the ground should watch that their catalytic converters do not contact high grass. Also, people can make sure weeds around their houses are trimmed and there are no leaves in their roofs. Even a sprinkler running occasionally in a backyard can be helpful.
If anyone has any questions, Patrick Mahoney, an information officer for the Division of Forestry, can be reached at 751-7627.
