VIDEO: Two grass fires that erupted Sunday afternoon in west Miami-Dade County have burned through over 250 acres, as of Monday afternoon, the Florida Forest Service confirmed.
“It’s a horrible thing that’s going on,” Sergio Rivas, who lives in the area, said.
According to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials, crews responded to one fire in the area of Southwest 137th Avenue and Eighth Street around 2:14 p.m. Sunday. “We’ve lived here for 20 years and this is not new to us. Every time it happens, it’s very sad,” another resident, Michelle Izquierdo, said.
According to MDFR, about 45 percent of the fire, which has burned 170 acres, been contained, thanks in part to the Tamiami Canal.
“It just keeps getting more and more. It’s like wow,” Danielle Pavon told Local 10 on Sunday.
