Forest fire in the Everglades


A color photo taken in June, 1973 of a forest fire in the Everglades in Collier County. "Some reports claim that the drainage canals, permitted for further land development, cause dangerous drying of foliage. Fires are also set, it is reported, to clear land quickly."
