“They’re trying to burn our county down”, one Santa Rosa County Commissioner pointing fingers following Oyster Bay Wildfire
Vice Chairman Calkins even added in some serious accusations.
He said, “The head of the Florida Department of Agriculture is Nikki Fried. She’s the only Democrat in the state that’s in the cabinet. And what happened in Santa Rosa County was intentional. They’re trying to burn our county down. I think it’s wrong. And they saw the wind was bad and now they’re going running and denying. This is why people don’t trust our government. They’re literally burning our stuff down on purpose.
Commissioner Fried fired back. She said, “Our Florida Forest Service wildland firefighters risk their own personal safety every day to protect Florida lives, property, and communities. To question their motives and politicize this situation is an insult to their service and sacrifices on behalf of their fellow Floridians. The claims being made are beyond the pale, and the fact that some would use this situation to push a false narrative and their own political agenda is quite frankly disgusting.
Santa Rosa County Commissioners and residents said they want an investigation into the wildfire. They also mentioned filing a public records request to find out who agreed to continue with the burn Friday.
