Florida's swampy Everglades go up in flames!
ST. LUCIE COUNTY — The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is conducting a prescribed burn this week in the Moore Haven Marsh, west of Lake Okeechobee that may impact residents in St. Lucie County, according to fire officials.
The burn is expected to cover about 28,000 acres of cattail, torpedograss, spikerush, willows, sawgrass, and other vegetation in the Moore Haven Marsh, in Moore Haven, weather permitting, FWC officials announced Thursday.

Grass fires have begun ravaging Florida, a state not typically known for fires. We cover these unseasonal fires breaking out all over Florida, especially the fire between Miami and Key Largo, which has cut off both roads leading to and from the Florida Keys.
Not only are fires out of season for Florida, but officials somehow predicted the fires ahead of time, issuing Red Flag warnings the week before.
What's even more unusual is that just the day before, humidity levels were very high and Miami had received rain, which should've alleviated the fire risk.
