The low humidity, combined with breezy winds and dry conditions will increase the potential for the start of a wildfire. The Okeechobee District of the Florida Forest Service is limiting burning authorizations due to the current weather condition. They are also encouraging residents not to burn yard debris (leaves and small limbs) and to use caution with anything that could start a fire. Wildfire 2012 Outlook Due to continuing La Nina conditions which are forecast to persist through Spring of 2012, a drier and warmer than normal winter is forecast for the Southeastern U.S. As a result, drought conditions are forecast to worsen and expand across the state through the winter and spring months. As dry cold fronts push through the state, the Florida Forest Service, Okeechobee District is recommending residents prepare their homes, neighborhoods and families against wildfires. READY Ready – Be ready, be Firewise. Take personal responsibility and prepare long before the threat of a wildland fire so your home is ready in case of a fire. Create defensible space by clearing brush away from your home. Use fire-resistant landscaping and harden your home with fire-safe construction measures. Assemble emergency supplies and belongings in a safe spot. Plan escape routes and make sure all those residing within the home know the plan of action. SET Set – Act immediately when a wildfire is nearby.. Pack your vehicle with your emergency items. Stay aware of the latest news and information on the fire from local media and your local fire department. GO Go – Leave early if a wildfire is threatening nearby. Follow your personal action plan. Doing so will not only support your safety, but will allow firefighters to best maneuver resources to combat the fire.
