Again, in 2003 Volusia County experienced
little wildfire activity. Volusia County Fire Services responded to 272
brush fires in 2003. Most were contained in 25 acres or less, and no brush
fire operations lasted more than 7 hours.
The largest fire occurred on February 2nd
as the Ashby Cove Fire burned nearly 40 acres north of Osteen. Personnel
from Volusia County Fire Services, Deltona Fire/Rescue, and the Division
of Forestry quickly contained the fire. Mop-up operations were conducted
the next day.
