Firefighters were busy responding to fires caused by severe weather Tuesday and Wednesday. Two small fires at the Brooker Creek Preserve in Tarpon Springs started after lightning storms moved through Tuesday night. Largo fire crews doused another small brush fire Wednesday afternoon that started as lightning storms passed through the city. None of the fires caused major damage. A funnel cloud also was seen near the St. Petersburg-Clearwater International Airport on Wednesday afternoon. No damage was reported.
