The ongoing forest fire in Florida has led to the evacuation of the population
The fire takes place during the peak of what is considered the dry season in South Florida, which extends until the end of May.
Meteorologists said the conditions have been drier than usual across the region, and no rain is expected during the early part of this week.
Firefighters in Boca Raton are working to extinguish a brushfire of north of Clint Moore Road.
Boca Raton Fire Rescue Services Department leaders say the brushfire that began last Thursday morning was under control. Crews are currently conducting the controlled burns in the area of the brushfire to use up nearby fuel to prevent a possible rekindling from spreading the flames. Fire crews with multiple agencies are also working to put out any remaining hot spots.
The fire has caused large flames and smoke to billow into the air. Smoke can be smelled for miles depending on the location.
"There’s no need to be worried," said Boca Raton Fire Rescue Services Department Deputy Fire Chief Jamie Smith.
Multiple agencies, including Highlands County Fire Rescue, worked a large brush fire, causing residents to evacuate their homes. People were asked to avoid the area in Sun 'n Lake from Granada to Schumacher Road while crews were on scene.
The brush fire is estimated to be 55 acres in size, according to officials.
All homes on Granada Boulevard between Edgewater Drive and Ortego Street were evacuated, which were about 20 structures in total, mainly duplexes.
