One-day prescribed burn a success
REFUGE/DDWS
The J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge reported that, in partnership with the Sanibel Island Prescribed Fire Task Force, it successfully completed a prescribed burn on July 1 at its Legion Curve Unit on Sanibel-Captiva Road on Sanibel. Conditions cooperated for the five-agency task force to plan, test and execute the fire to eliminate the fuel that heightens the likelihood of wildfire on the island. The refuge thanked all who participated in making it a safe and effective burn and all of the residents and businesses who cooperated.
