CCFR battles wildfire on Clay/Putnam border

CLAY COUNTY – The Florida Highway Patrol is continuing to monitor a wildfire in the Sun Garden Road and Warner Road area, which may affect approximately 3.5 miles west of U.S. Highway 17 in Clay and Putnam counties. Motorists are encouraged to use caution when traveling in these areas.

Due to smoke/fog conditions, visibility may deteriorate quickly, especially during the nighttime and early-morning hours. Motorists are reminded to reduce their speed as necessary to avoid a collision and utilize their low-beam headlights to adapt to changing weather conditions. Smoke signs have been requested to alert motorists.

Clay County Fire Rescue also responded to a rekindled brush fire on Lovers Lane about five miles from the Sun Garden/Warner roads wildfire Thursday.  They were able to contain the flare-up, but county officials wanted to remind residents to refrain from any outside burning or doing anything that could create a spark during the current weather period of low humidity and high winds.
