Prescribed fire at Everglades National Park HQ

“Burning with an audience” Spectators gathered as the crew ignited the garden beds around Headquarters and the Visitor Center. Next time you are visiting the park take a look at what’s growing around the buildings. You will find native plants that are fire adapted and need prescribed fire to stay healthy and in check.

I have conducted prescribed fires near structures, but not THIS close.

The fire crew at EVER has been doing these close-up to building burns for years and never damaged a building. Careful planning and well trained people. They did blister some paint on vehicles on other P-burns a few times.

Merry Christmas, Bill. Another great year for you and your site.

Bill
