This week is National Wildfire Awareness Week

            This week is National Wildfire Awareness week and the theme is “Prevent wildfire arson spread the facts, not the fire.”
Wildfire arson costs Florida taxpayers millions of dollars each year. 

More than 143 arson wildfires have burned 6,300 acres in Florida since January. 

Spring is the most active fire time during Florida’s year-round wildfire season.

Typical dry, windy weather makes even the smallest spark potentially hazardous.
State officials are urging people to report suspicious wildfire activity.
You can contact the Florida Forestry Arson Alert Hotline at 1-800-342-5869.

Callers can remain anonymous and information about wildland arson could result in a reward of up to $5,000.
