Smoky conditions continued in southwest Miami-Dade as two brush fires were still burning Tuesday.
Miami-Dade Fire Rescue officials said one fire burning near Southwest 157th Avenue and Bird Road was 95% contained but had burned around 100 acres.
The second fire, near Southwest 137th Avenue and Southwest 8th Street, burned up to 235 acres by Tuesday morning and was 85% contained, according to the Florida Forest Service. Florida Forest Service crews were working to extinguish the fires, with the assistance of Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
Crews have also been patrolling the area to ensure no property or structures were impacted and to put out spot fires. The larger fire was first reported as a 4-acre blaze on Sunday but it quickly grew and led to the temporary closure of a portion of Southwest 8th Street.
