Description
At least 1,000 acres burned after Tuesday's River Gate fire and 200 camps were lost. Signs in the area warn the fire risk right now is extreme, while families process a devastating loss.
"It's just heartbreaking to see it. Just heartbreaking. I wish we could help everyone," Eric Hayes said.
He and his wife Rebecca reacted to the news of their neighbors in River Ranch from miles away in Fort Myers. For three years they've enjoyed the crisp Florida air surrounded by nature at the camp they continue to build.
"It's a relaxing place to go, it’s a home away from home. It’s heaven," Rebecca Huber said.
The couple was just here last week taking a break. Eric is a contractor working in the areas hardest hit by Hurricane Ian.
