03/17/2006 | So, anyone who lives int he area, knows how often fires start off of 1-75, especially between Naples and Miami and "Alligator Alley". Most of these are due to either 1) ciggarettes being tossed from car windows, or 2) campfires or trash burns that are not being monitored. I live in this area, and during dry season, I probably am having to think about what to pack at least once per week. There are always, at least, small brush fires nearby, if not large scale destructions. Even worse, I now live by a mulching yard (it's on my street), which can never seem to manage its grounds. This place has already had 3 small fires this year, and it's not even the height of the season.

03/09/2006 | Yes, especially at this time of year, brushfires can be a major concern. Most of them are actually started by people. A recent one near my house was started by someone burning a stolen car in a field of dry bushes. During the summer, most fires are started by lightning--those are the ones that are really heavy and hard to control.
