Bee Haven Two Fire Holds As Low Danger Prevails Statewide

Wildfire activity remains minimal across Florida, with the Florida Forest Service monitoring just one active fire statewide. The Fire Danger Index stands at low across all 67 counties, supported by modest winds and relative humidity levels safely above critical limits. Crews report no new spread or activity on existing firelines as post-frontal weather dominates the region.

Key Fires

• Bee Haven 2 Fire — Burning northwest of Lake City in Hamilton County, the fire has held its perimeter with no new growth or spread over recent days. Mild daytime temperatures and light winds are expected to keep conditions manageable until gustier winds arrive late in the week.

Conditions and Outlook

No Red Flag Warnings or fire weather watches are in effect across Florida, with significant fire potential remaining low statewide. Cool, dry post-frontal air and light transport winds will maintain calm fire conditions and rain-free skies through midweek. A cold front approaching late in the week will usher in cooler temperatures and gustier winds, though humidity levels are forecast to remain above critical thresholds.

Burn Bans and Land Management

There are no emergency countywide burn bans in effect across Florida, though year-round local ordinances prohibit outdoor yard debris burning in Duval, Hillsborough, Orange, and Pinellas counties. Agricultural and silvicultural burns continue to require authorization from the Florida Forest Service.

What Residents Should Do

• Clear roof gutters and dry vegetation within 30 feet of structures to maintain defensible space.
• Obtain authorization from the Florida Forest Service before conducting any outdoor agricultural or pile burning.
• Check local municipal ordinances regarding year-round restrictions on residential yard debris burning.
