Naples Fire FLAG POND FIRE FIGHT A voluntary evacuation order was lifted for homes on Snake and Lee Williams Road initially because of the growing risk from this fire in Collier County. VOLUNTARY EVACUATIONS HAVE BEEN LIFTED- #FlagPondFire No structures were lost! Road closures are still in place while wildland firefighters continue mopping up. #FLFire #Flwildfire #wildfire @CollierSheriff @CollierEM @GN_Fire @NCFRPio — FFS Caloosahatchee (@FFS_cafc) March 23, 2018 WINK News was able to take a tour of the closed roads back in the Picayune Strand Forest. There are multiple hot spots burning alongside the roads. So far, this fire has consumed 2,600 acres and is 70 percent contained at this time. Sam Quinn, with the Florida Forestry Service, says this fire season is similar to last year’s. “Right now, the fire weather outlook is above average, similar to last year. We’re already seeing moderate drought conditions for our area so crews are responding accordingly,” he said. It’s too early to determine a cause for this particular fire, but Quinn says they are leaning toward the cause being weather-related, versus being deliberately set. Incident 100 #FlagPondFire is now 2,600 acres and 70% contained. Forward progress of the #wildfire has stopped and wildland firefighters will be monitoring containment lines throughout the night for any hot spots or flare ups. #FLFire #Flwildfire pic.twitter.com/pWafgNY40t — FFS Caloosahatchee (@FFS_cafc) March 23, 2018 RED FLAG WARNING: High fire danger for #LeeCounty Drought conditions, low humidity, and high or erratic winds make it ideal for a #wildfire and rapid spread. Outdoor burning is discouraged. #SWFL pic.twitter.com/x6Y3lMHEKo — FFS Caloosahatchee (@FFS_cafc) March 23, 2018 What is a S.E.A.T.?
