West Manatee Fire and Rescue District firefighters work to extinguish a fire April 8 in the dunes near lifeguard station No. 7 at Manatee County’s Coquina Beach in Bradenton Beach. WMFR said the fire started in the sea oats after a beachgoer disposed of cooking coals in the dunes rather than in a coal disposal bin. Islander Photo: Robert Anderson
