Florida’s already active fire season likely will extend further into the summer, according to @NIFC_Fire outlooks. Florida’s peak wildfire season usually encompasses April to June. Unfortunately, the state is expected to see more above-average wildfire potential in July & August.

Despite recent rains, drought continues to plague Florida as the peak of wildfire season looms. 48 of our 67 counties have declared a county-wide burn ban as May begins. FFS is urging everyone to follow any county-imposed burn ban, which prohibits unauthorized outdoor burning.
