Granted, it had been a brush fire this time but, what had it not been a brush fire and a residence or God forbid, a line of historical buildings? A fire like that can / will spread far too quickly for the Clearwater Fire Dept. to arrive from Clearwater to combat this or any other fire.
There has to be a better way. (May be some form of Taxing on the land owners / business etc. on that side of the bridge?
this brush needs to be trimmed and cut back…..honestly …i would love more palm trees and mor booganvia…..and more cedar trees placed throughout this magical little town….lets make her more beautiful than she is now….
