Smokey Conditions in Hernando County
According to Hernando County Fire Rescue officials,there have been multiple wildfires burning in eastern/central Florida, including two brush fires on Tuesday in Hernando County, which were under control by 7 pm Tuesday evening. Because winds are blowing from the east and the fires in other parts of the state may continue throughout the week, Hernando County may be subject to smokey conditions over the next few days. Residents with respiratory conditions should be aware that these conditions may cause them discomfort, and they should try to remain indoors.
Although Hernando County has received some rainfall this week, conditions are still extremely dry, and the chances for wildfires occurring remains very high.
