A Tire Fire Filled the Sky with Dark Black Smoke Sunday |

Eustis, FL – Dark smoke filled the sky Sunday afternoon behind the fairgrounds in Eustis. Lake County and Eustis firefighters quickly responded to the dark black column of smoke to find a large pile of tires burning. Firefighters worked to extinguish the toxic blaze through the choking dark black smoke. “Tires burn very hot and are very toxic” explains Lt. Brian Gamble, Vice President of the Professional Firefighters of Lake County. The soaring heat index added to the hot burning tires created a very tedious and dangerous task. “We are just glad no one was hurt or injured during the fire”.
Lake County Firefighters respond to a fire type call on average every 12 hours.
The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
