2026 Florida Wildfire Season: Southwest Florida (June 22nd)

As some of you know I have an affinity for Florida because I had the privilege of spending some time in Florida several years ago, but more importantly because I have some friends and acquaintance in Florida. This article dated June 22nd from the WGCU weather center got my attention so I am both sharing the link with you as well as summarizing a few wildfires as of June 22nd in Lee County in southwest Florida: 

1. Winding Cypress Way in Collier County, no acreage available; 

2. Two larger wildfires in the Myakka State Forest were at 95 percent containment; 

3. Orange Hammock Ranch, Sarasota County. 100 acres, 90 containment; 

4. Glades County, Platt Trap Fire, 275 acres, 50 percent containment; 

5. Charlotte County, North Fort Myers-Charlotte Fire, 130 acres, 25 percent containment. 

Read the article I linked to do for more information.
