🚒🎃 COMMUNITY, CANDY & FIRE PREVENTION! 🎃🚒

The Highlands Lakes Volunteer Fire Department was proud to participate in the Avon Park Lakes Trunk or Treat on Lake Olivia! 👻🍬

With over 1,000 residents coming out to enjoy the festivities, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect with our community, spread some Halloween fun, and promote fire safety.

Our crew enjoyed handing out candy, sharing important fire prevention materials, and showing off our fire trucks to families and children throughout the event. 🚒❤️

Events like these allow us to build stronger relationships with the community we proudly serve while helping educate the next generation about fire safety.

A huge THANK YOU to the organizers, volunteers, and everyone who came out to make this event such a success!

From our family to yours, thank you for supporting your local volunteer fire department! ❤️🚒

🌧️ Recent rainfall across Highlands County is welcome news, and conditions are beginning to improve.

However, drought recovery doesn't happen overnight.

While rain helps moisten grasses and surface vegetation, it can take weeks or even months of consistent rainfall for deeper soil moisture levels to fully recover after an extended drought.

That means wildfire risk can remain elevated even when everything looks greener than it did a few days ago.

The recent rain is a step in the right direction, but continued caution and outdoor fire safety remain important throughout Highlands County.

🔥 Stay alert.
🔥 Follow local burn restrictions.
🔥 Be mindful of activities that could create sparks or open flames.

Small actions can help prevent wildfires while our area continues to recover.
