That would make perfect sense, though that is a desolate part of 429 to have a car-b-que.

Do they even allow controlled burns down there? We do in the North East depending on the day/seasons, anyone can go down and pay ten bucks and get a permit just to burn off piled stuff in your yard, but I always figured in FL even though it technically is a swamp everything is so dry and brittle it wouldn't be so common.
Heck, we burn entire dozen-acre fields up here every couple of years - it makes the blueberries grow.

I'm guessing it is much like anywhere else, its dependent on the conditions and time of the year for controlled burns. your better to allow it if it is safe then to have one just happen....

I think they got it confused with Universal Hollywood's backlot fire years ago...which "accidently" burned down the old Kong building which was planned on being scrapped & replaced anyway.
That was a shocking

You know that people are generally clueless when it comes to breaking news.

We should ask @GatorAsh that's her instagram...
Maybe she learned the cause since the photo was taken?

No offense but I find the Florida Highway Patrol's information credible over some random instagram person.

None taken Dave. Just thought she had some input. I also must have skimmed over your post of the fhp. My bad.
Edit: I didn't skim...it didn't register. Brush fires from lightning strikes is a common thing in the south east,

There was one way before I moved there in the early 2000s that closed miles of i-4 & i-95.
Brush fires are a serious business there.

Ohhhhhhh. You mean the one between Lakeland and Orlando that causes that huge car pileup one morning when the smoke & the fog mixed to keep visibility at zero?
Same thing happened on 75 outside of Gainesville within the same time period.

amen
There was a ton of lightning around that time Friday afternoon. We took refuge in Les Chefs De France. Opportune ADRs.
I'm surprised no one has accused Iger of rubbing two pennies together being the reason.
