Where Florida wildfires burn
The pine flatwoods and palmetto of central and south Florida — and drained swamp margins near the Everglades — burn most often, with dry-season fires occasionally threatening the I-4 and coastal growth corridors. Florida also runs one of the nation's largest prescribed-fire programs, so not all smoke means wildfire.
