Another fire has erupted in Walton County, this time forcing authorities to shut down a portion of County Road 30A in Seagrove. Preliminary reports indicate that several structures near Summerset Bridge Road and Robert Ellis Street were threatened by a fire of unknown dimensions. Firefighters responding on the scene reported at least three structures fully engulfed.
Residents and visitors are encourged to evacuate the area and stay off the roads to accomodate emergency vehicles.
School officials are asking Seagrove area parents to pick up their children from school, as busses will not be running through the area.

If y'all can just get through the next 24 hours or so without the whole county catching on fire, things should improve with some higher dewpoints and more humidity. Y'all hang in there.

Prayers coming from 250 miles north.

My husband was down on 30A when the fire trucks started to arrive and they headed up Somerset Bridge. He noticed another fire off to the east behind Rolling Tides (Sugar Sand Lane) and went up there to investigate. Sure enough a grass fire had started in the grounds of Rollin' Tides and was spreading fast. They managed to get the sprinkler sytem going and alert the residents there, and last I heard things seemed to be under control. This really windy weather sure isn't helping things.

Seagrover make sure the wheels on your bike have plenty of air in case you have to evacuate.

While I am unable to do anything today, if you own a place in this immediate area of the fire, and need for me to check and report on its status, send me a pm, including the address of your property, and I will get over there in the morning and report back on this board with a new thread. I am sorry to hear that houses are being lost, and I just hope that no lives are lost also. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. Houses can be replaced, even if they are greatly treasured.
