Prescribed burns happening near UNF Wednesday
April 18, 2018

You’re not imagining that smoky smell outside.
If you notice smoke around campus, it’s not vape clouds. A prescribed burn is taking place between the south UNF entrance and I-295 Wednesday.
Prescribed burns are done to reduce the possibility of larger wildfires, and there have been over eight performed in Jacksonville since the beginning of 2018.
