Volunteer Firefighters Save the Day . . . and A Lot of Homes

House Burned in Sunday FireI can’t say enough good things about our volunteer firefighters.  They are just incredible. On Sunday they came to the rescue once again when high winds whipped a fierce fire down the beach from the Dunes Club west all the way to Jubilation, scorching about 12 acres of land in between.  Although a number of homes suffered some damage from the searing heat, such as melted vinyl siding or broken windows, it is truly a testatment to their courage, skill, and tenacity that only one home was lost.  Hats off to our true local heros, the South Gulf County Volunteer Fire Department.

Here is a link to the story run on Channel 13 on Monday:  Cape San Blas Fire
