PLANT CITY, Fla. — The Plant City Police Department is investigating after authorities found a man on fire inside a local grocery store Wednesday evening.

At 6:35 p.m. Wednesday, police responded to a disturbance call at Publix Supermarket, located at 2202 James L. Redman Pkwy in the Walden Woods Shopping Center.

The caller said that a man was on fire inside the store.

Officials said several people within the store worked to extinguish the flames.

Afterward, Plant City Fire Rescue transported the injured person, a 30-year-old man, to a local hospital. Authorities said he is in critical condition.

“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.
