A wildfire in Volusia and Brevard counties in east central Florida shut down two major highways Monday night, but by 9:00 a.m. on Monday the highways, I-95 and U.S. 1, reopened.
The Brevard County Emergency Management Office estimated Monday night that the fire had burned 10,000 acres and one mobile home. CNN said the fire was spotting 1/2 mile ahead yesterday.
Strong winds and dry fuels were challenging firefighters who may get some relief from light rain that is in the forecast for Tuesday morning.
Florida Today interviewed a firefighter in this video:
