Polk, Highlands Fires Producing Hazy Conditions
ADVERTISEMENT
Published: December 17, 2007
SEBRING — Two large controlled fires in southern Polk County may produce smoke and haze in the northern part of Highlands County.
Winds from the north are blowing smoke from a 600-acre fire in the Polk County side of the Avon Park Air Force Range and a separate 500-acre fire at River Ranch, north of the bombing range. There are also two smaller burns south of Sebring contributing to the haze, said Tim Elder, Highlands County's forest area supervisor for the Division of Forestry.
