Florida’s hot in October, but this hot?
At 1:35p.m. today, a white vehicle traveling on Fowler Avenue and 50th Street started to smoke as the driver pulled off the road. No sooner did the driver jump out of his car and cross through passing traffic, did the vehicle become engulfed in flames.
As a bystander at Einstein bagels at the local plaza, I took the pictures located below. Within about 10 minutes more than half of the vehicle was consumed in bright yellow and orange flames with tunnels of black smoke shooting into the air.
Emergency services arrived fairly quickly. Within about 3-5 minutes of the initial flames, police were behind the car. I was disappointed with the way the police handled the situation. They did not try and stop traffic or close down a lane. It is understandable that fire rescue was on its way, as well as a tow truck; but this could have escalated very quickly into a serious event. Passing cars could have gas leaking from their vehicle which could have caused a larger fire to occur. Winds could have picked up and pushed some of the thick flames onto passing vehicles. It was during a high traffic time, as Fowler Avenue is always busy, but I felt better precautions should have put into place.
Fire rescue arrived about 20 minutes into the event and had the flames under control and extinguished within about 5 minutes. After the vehicle was towed, the location where the car was is still torched.

HELLO BLOGGING WORLD
Its official! I am a blogger. I am continuously hearing that blogging is such a vital role in a public relation professional’s career. I used to doubt the importance of blogging. After only being in school for a month studying public relations, I am realizing how much blogging can enhance your writing skills. It forces you to be full of knowledge about a variety of subjects and forces you to have opinions, instead of floating by in the world.
I never really understood what you were supposed to blog about and I am not sure I have found my blogging niche, but I am excited to begin my experience in the blogging world. I love that I am gaining unlimited amounts of information every day, whether I am in class or reading the news paper or talking to all the new people I am meeting.
I know it is going to be hard to obtain a job within in the NFL, but I am ready. I am ready to put in the hours, dedication and get the knowledge I need to succeed in this specific industry. I have never been happier than I am at this point in my career/educational transition and I hope to find my personal blogging style and topics which I feel comfortable expressing my opinion on. I now know blogging is such a powerful medium and I hope this blog will enhance my writing and communication skills for my future!
Switching my major last year from psychology to public relations was THE best decision I have ever made. I am beyond excited to go to class and learn new information about my future profession. I love the students, professors and professionals I have met so far in the short amount of time I have been learning about PR. I joined PRSSA to further enhance my experience and opportunities in the PR world. (The National Conference in November 6th-10th in San Diego, California and I am so excited to go!!) The opportunities to learn and grown in this field are endless and I cannot wait to continue my journey throughout this upcoming year.
