SARASOTA COUNTY, Fla — It’s going to get smoky on Monday in parts of Sarasota County. Firefighters and the Department of Parks, Recreation and Natural Resources will conduct a prescribed burn on the Carlton Reserve. 

They’re expected to start around 11 a.m. if wind and other conditions are right.

So, if you see smoke nearby, that’s likely the cause.
