episode_narrativeLightning sparked a large wildfire in the Big Cypress Preserve in interior Collier County.
event_narrativeLightning sparked a wildfire in the East Hinson Marsh area of Big Cypress National Preserve on April 22. The fire started one mile north of I-75 (Alligator Alley) and east of SR 29. Very dry conditions caused by the drought across the region, along with seasonably strong east winds, caused the wildfire to spread rapidly. The fire eventually spread across both sides of I-75 causing almost nightly road closures due to the thick smoke and stable nighttime conditions. SR 29 was also periodically closed due to thick smoke. As of the end of the month, the fire had burned 30,005 acres and was 85% contained. No structures were damaged due to the remote location of the fire.
