From Dec. 5 to Jan. 5, five wildfires burned more than 1,000 acres of District-owned and privately owned land in southeastern Alachua County. Because most of the fires occurred on District lands and arson is suspected, we feel we should support the efforts to identify the arsonist by contributing to the reward. Below average rainfall in the area has led to dry conditions and these conditions are expected to continue into the spring, which means wildfires can become harder to control.
Informants can remain anonymous.
