HUDSON, FL - Pasco Fire was dispatched for a brush fire that may have been caused by the owner setting a small fire near some tires on April 21st. The extreme dryness of the woods quickly got the fire up and running. First due companies were able to get in with a small brush truck, going through the owner's goat pens and making it out to the area burning to stop it. The Florida Forestry was also on scene with a a dozer if needed. The burn was less than 5 acres.
