Everglades Muck Fires Threaten Wildlife Balance
Maj Ton Gainey of the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission and Robert Miller of the Florida Division of Forestry warn muck fires burning four to five feet underground could lower soil levels and dry waterways. Over half a million acres of brush and grass burned this year as South Florida averages only 5.05 inches of rain in six months, far below the 19.76 inch norm.
