Burn bans and disaster declarations have been put in place across Florida and Georgia as moisture levels drop and wildfire numbers rise. Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Wilton Simpson reviewed active wildfire efforts and wildfire damage in Clay and Putnam Counties earlier this week, saying “I am incredibly grateful to Florida Forest Service Director Rick Dolan and his team, Clay County Sheriff Michelle Cook and Fire Chief Mock for their continued work. We all appreciate Governor DeSantis and Director Guthrie for their support as we all work to keep Floridians safe during these fires.”
