On Wednesday, a large, mushroom-shaped cloud of smoke was spotted near New Smyrna Beach, leading some beachgoers to believe that an explosion had occurred near the beach. However, officials from the beach have clarified that the strange cloud was actually from a controlled burn that took place miles away from the beach.
When residents and beachgoers saw the large cloud of smoke, some took to social media to express their concerns. One user wrote "explosion reported," but New Smyrna Beach Fire Chief Shawn VanDemark assured the public that there were"... no reports of explosion that I'm aware of."
According to the Florida Department of Agriculture... a prescribed burn is defined as the controlled application of fire by a team of fire experts under specified weather conditions.
These fires are done under controlled conditions after careful planning to minimize the risk of damage to property and the environment. The controlled burn was conducted by a team of fire experts who carefully planned and executed the operation to ensure the safety of the surrounding area.
Despite the initial confusion... the controlled burn was a necessary measure to help manage the vegetation in the area.
