Officials with the Florida Division of Forestry’s Blackwater Forestry Center are advising the public that outdoor burning on Monday and Tuesday should be avoided, if possible.  According to Ben Wolcott, Operations Administrator for the Division of Forestry, “Conditions are conducive to wildfires due to forecasted wind gusts up to 30 mph, humidity below 30 percent, and highly unstable atmospheric conditions.  We only had a nominal amount of rainfall on Sunday; also, we have sent numerous resources to assist with the disastrous wildfires in central and south Florida, so our ability to respond to a wildfire within the tri-county district is reduced.” Wolcott adds, “It’s much better to wait a few days, than to find yourself responsible for the cost of putting out a wildfire and for damage to the property of other persons.”    There are currently 193 active wildfires burning over 17,000 acres under state jurisdiction.    For more information about outdoor burning rules, contact the Florida Division of Forestry at 850-957-6145 or www.fl-dof.com.
