The wider storm

Dry conditions across South Florida allowed a wildfire to burn in Miami-Dade County for several days (fire ignited in May). The fire ignited near a densely populated area, but thankfully no injuries or damage was reported. However, proximity of the fire and smoke resulted in the closure of Krome Ave for a period of time.
