SEBRING, Fla. — The Sebring Fire Department (SFD) and multiple other agencies have been on Lake Jackson searching for a boater who went missing Saturday evening.

SFD responded to Lake Jackson shortly before 7 p.m. on Saturday to assist the Sebring Police Department in the search for the boater.

The scene was turned over to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and they are heading the investigation, which is still active.

Veterans Beach Boat Ramp and Veterans Beach Memorial Park are closed at this time.

Authorities ask people to avoid the area as the search continues.

“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.
