FROM HARDEE COUNTY FIRE RESCUE - SOURCE OF SMOKE IDENTIFIED

Hardee County Fire Rescue and Florida Forest Service personnel have located the source of the smoke that has been reported in recent weeks in the Crewsville and Zolfo Springs area.

The source has been identified as a muck fire located approximately one-half mile south of the Town of Zolfo Springs wastewater treatment plant. The fire is currently contained and is being monitored by fire personnel.

Muck fires occur when organic material beneath the surface ignites and burns underground. Because these fires burn below ground level, they can be difficult to locate and may continue to smolder for extended periods of time, producing visible smoke and noticeable odors even when little or no flame is present.

Residents in the area may continue to see smoke and detect smoke-related odors, particularly during the evening, overnight, and early morning hours when weather conditions can cause smoke to settle closer to the ground. Based on current conditions, the fire is expected to continue smoldering until the area receives sufficient rainfall to saturate the affected ground and extinguish the remaining hot spots.

We appreciate the assistance provided by community members who reported observations and helped responders identify the source of the smoke. Hardee County Fire Rescue and the Florida Forest Service will continue to monitor the area and take appropriate action as needed.
