RIVER RANCH, Fla - The exceedingly dry weather has created a perfect storm for wildfires. As of Wednesday afternoon, a dozen wildfires were burning in Polk County alone.
"We have had about a month of little to no rain, nice sunny days, warm days, low humidity, gusty winds, and it has really dried a lot of stuff out," Florida Forestry Service spokesman Todd Chlanda told FOX 13.
Wildfires are popping up all over South and Central Florida and Polk County is being hit especially hard.
The situation is so serious, crews from North Florida are in Polk County with heavy equipment to act as backup for the Forestry Service and Polk Fire Rescue.
