Prescribed burn set today in South Walton
The Florida Division of Forestry (DOF) will be conducting a 100 acre prescribed burn in the vicinity of Christian International Church. The burn will take place today between 8:30 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. on the south side of Highway 98 in the forest behind the church.
Due to the prevailing wind direction and atmospheric conditions, smoke should lift and drift to the South. The smoke plume will be visible from the Point Washington and Inlet beach areas of South Walton. As always, the South Walton Fire District is monitoring the conditions. If you encounter smoke on any roads, you are encouraged to please slow down and use caution.
It is anticipated that the smoke will dissipate once the burns have been completed
The Division of Forestry may be contacted at 850-547-7083 with any questions you may have.
