CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. — A Citrus County deputy is getting special recognition after he rescued two elderly people from an RV that burst into flames this week.
The Citrus County Sheriff's Office said Deputy Daniel Elias was on patrol when he spotted the RV. When he got closer, he saw the two victims, who were trapped inside.
Elias immediately attempted to extinguish the fire and called for additional help, which allowed him to rescue both victims. Everyone was able to escape the fire safely and without injury.
"We’re incredibly proud to have Deputy Elias on our team, and we’re thankful for his heroic actions in such a dangerous moment," the sheriff's office said.
They also said Citrus County Fire Rescue quickly responded, ensuring the fire was fully extinguished and the area remained safe.
“You know, it might just be time we take a look if HOAs are really even necessary.
Maybe we should just do away with homeowner associations as a whole.”
South Florida lawmaker Rep. Juan Carlos Porras (R-Miami) says it may be time to do away with homeowners associations altogether, as more Floridians speak out about rising fees, costly lawsuits, and even arrests tied to HOA disputes. He said this week that he is considering filing legislation in the next session that would abolish HOAs statewide.
