Good morning, Deltona.

First responders from Volusia and Flagler freed two horses stuck in deep mud at Dexter-Mary Farms Wildlife Management Area on Wednesday using specialized large animal rescue equipment to ensure both animals were safely checked.

The Federal Reserve increased its benchmark interest rate on Wednesday by a quarter-point, marking the first rate hike since summer 2023.

Local banks may adjust credit card and mortgage rates soon, meaning Deltona residents could face higher borrowing costs while savers might see increased returns from deposits.
