⚡ LIGHTNING IS BEAUTIFUL. UNTIL IT STARTS SOMETHING.
Florida is the lightning capital of the United States, and thunderstorms are a regular part of life here. Lightning can ignite vegetation, and when accumulated brush, dead limbs, palmettos and undergrowth are nearby, there’s plenty of fuel waiting to burn.
That doesn’t mean every storm is a wildfire threat. It does mean now is a good time to look around your property and see what you’ve been putting off.
🌿 Overgrown brush
🌳 Dead vegetation and limbs
🌴 Dense palmettos and underbrush
🚜 Overgrown lots
🔥 Vegetation accumulating around structures
Florida’s Forest Service specifically recommends reducing accumulated vegetation around properties before a wildfire occurs. Creating defensible space and reducing available fuel can help make properties more resilient when fire does happen.
Don’t wait for a spark to remind you that the property needed some attention.
T&D Tree Service can help with tree work, while Ormond Land Clearing handles the bigger ground-level cleanup, including brush clearing, underbrush removal, forestry mulching and property clearing.
