Florida - Deep Fire Update, - Broward & Collier Counties
Florida EOC is at activation Level III (monitoring). The Deep Fire has burned approximately 24,000 acres within Big Cypress National Preserve. The fire is 30% contained. No structures or facilities have been impacted, and there has been no request for Federal assistance. Crews continue burnout operations as a suppression strategy, while monitoring for and extinguishing spot fires. Because these operations are expected to impact visibility, Interstate 75 will remain closed until at least mid-day on Tuesday, and will reopen pending more favorable conditions. State Road 29 will remain closed until further notice. Big Cypress National Preserve has enacted some recreational access closures.
