Florida on Fire!
Shot from the N. side of I-75 about 2 miles west of Naples, Florida. Cut to 30 seconds because there’s really not that much *to* a wildfire; it just goes on and on. (I have the original tape — a few minutes more of the same — in case anyone is interested.) Note that there are no firefighters in sight…. just flames dancing merrily out in the boonies, part of a series of blazes pouring smoke and haze all over central and southern Florida. If you thought swamps couldn’t burn, you were wrong. Enough drought, and we’ve had plenty lately, and a swamp is dry grass and trees and bushes, easy to ignite.

They are RE-developing !! Next year this time there will be condos in most of the burning areas that are not swamp and maybe this will be their excuse to develop ON swamp .. LOL
