episode_narrativeA series of muck fires burned along the dry lakebed of southwestern Lake Okeechobee near the Glades and Hendry county shoreline for almost the entire month of May. Smoke from these fires periodically closed area roads and caused an accident involving fatalities in northern Hendry County.
event_narrativeWildfires burning muck or peat exposed by ongoing dry conditions along the southwestern shore of Lake Okeechobee spread to over 15 miles long from near Lakeport to near Clewiston and covered almost 30,000 acres as of May 31. Multiple road closures occurred nearly every night through the period, especially along US 27 and state roads 720 and 78, as the smoke settled near the ground and caused low visibilities. Several RVs were also threatened near the Moore Haven Marina & RV Resort.
