Hundreds of Wildfires Extinguished

July 21st, 2011 by flanews

One month ago more than 400 wildfires were burning up Florida.

Today 32 are still active. Firefighters are applauding nearly a month of rain for helping extinguish the fires. They’re also thanking the hundreds of out-of-state firefighters who flew to Florida to help fight the flames. Jim Karels, the Director of the Florida Forestry Service says conditions are almost to a point were Florida firefighters can begin returning the favor.

“New Mexico, Arizona, slowed down a little bit. Nevada is starting to pick up and if they pick up, we are ready to help them. They helped us. We are ready to help them,” said Karels.

32 is still a lot of fires for Florida this time of the year. Plus Florida is still in a drought, but Karels says if the current rain pattern continues and people continue to be careful, the worst may be behind us.
