Today: 100-Acre Burn Today At Ransom Middle School
January 10, 2015
If the weather cooperates today, the Florida Forest Service will conduct a 100 acre prescribed burn at Ransom Middle School.
After a recent wildfire caused smoke issues near the Cantonment school, the plan is to conduct a burn on county-owned property in order to reduce the risk of future wildfires, eliminate 
potential smoke issues and allow the school board to better utilize the field adjacent to the school.
Given the light fuel load of the area, the burn should only take a few hours and smoke is not expected to linger in the area afterward.
The Forest Service announced the burn twice during the Christmas school holidays, but weather forced a cancellation both times.

Well I live right across the street and my house stinks like smoke. The smoke has lingered and I can’t even breath outside and I also have farm animals breathing this in. So they are not accurate with the smoke not
Lingering. My house will now smell like smoke for the next week. The last fire was also not a wild fire. I actually saw two kids walk out of those woods before the fire broke out. No one ever got back to me for a statement.
