Fires happen every year in Florida. They've been happening here for a long time. The tortoises usually will do fine in a deep burrow.
The big Bradford county fire(over 6000 acres) was less than 8 miles from my house, and I had to bring my monitor lizard inside due to the massive smoke. It was so thick that you couldn't see 200 feet at all. I have a evacuation plan(same as for hurricanes) for me and my animals.
The wildlife usually does pretty well on it's own. People leaving their pets behind is what angers me. The pets can't leave, or they are released when the owners evac, and then they can starve or be killed because they don't know what to do.
It's really icky anywhere near any of the larger fires in Florida right now.
Big rain.. Big rain!! Come on!!!
