February 7, 2024
Staff report
ALACHUA COUNTY, Fla. – Florida Highway Patrol is advising motorists to be cautious due to a prescribed burn in the Grove Park area, near the intersection of SR 20 and CR 325.
Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling in the area as visibility may deteriorate quickly, especially during the nighttime and early morning hours. Motorists are reminded to reduce their speed and utilize low-beam headlights to adapt to changing weather conditions.
Ever notice that they seem to pick the windy days to do prescribed burns and they tell everyone else not to burn on windy days. LOL
Additionally, the smoke smelled toxic, like plastic or tires burning, not like wood or a forest fire.
