Agricuture Commissioner addresses continuing brush fire danger

Florida Department of Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam took a first-hand look Wednesday at firefighting efforts for the Greenway Fire, which has consumed more than 16,875 acres in Collier County. The main effort is to keep the fire from spreading toward communities along Collier Boulevard, such as VeronaWalk and Winding Cypress. Firefighters are concerned about winds from the east and southeast that could push the fire toward the homes there.
