While heading out this morning to the shooting range at the Hernando Sportsman Club, we were met with a roadblock just west of US 19 North by the Hernando County Sheriff's Department. Lightning had hit the area last night and caught the wooded area on fire which burned a power pole off at it's base leaving live wires on the ground. Thanks to the efforts of the lineman of Withlacoochee River Electric, a new power pole was installed within several hours. The Hernando County Fire Rescue and the Department of Forestry also need to be commended for putting out this brush fire before it was out of control.
