Prescribed Burn (Forest Fire)
Out of Control, North Port, Florida
This was right in the back yard of the
houses along the edge of the forest!
My heart cries for all of the forest creatures that lose their homes, their nests, dens, even their lives. When I think of the many birds, squirrels, and all the other beautiful critters, even the insects, I cry.
I know that the justification is that the dry brittle underbrush is fuel for major UN-controlled forest fires caused by lightning, but I still call that an Act of Nature versus an Act of Man.....
We saw this too. Astounding how close to houses and the street. People were on their roofs pouring water on their homes and plants. It looked out of control to us too. The smoke choked the air for miles and miles.
