Wildfire has no season in Florida. Wildfires can happen at any time during the year — but wildfire occurrences often peak in late winter. Rainfall is less in winter leading to drier soils. Frosts and freezes leave behind dry vegetation that ignites easily. Know the risk of wildfire where you live, and if you are in a high risk area, take precautions to minimize risk to your home.
Most people don’t live in areas likely to burn. If you live in an urban area, in a subdivision with homes surrounded by lawns and typical landscaping, you are in a low risk area. However many people living in rural areas are at greater risk.
