Overview
- The largest blaze, Quarry 2, has expanded to about 17,200 acres and is roughly 75% contained while the Well Fire has grown to about 1,300 acres and is about 50% contained.
- Additional smaller fires include the Coptic Fire at about 1,680 acres and a fourth blaze of roughly 50 acres that is nearly contained.
- More than 40 Miami‑Dade Fire Rescue units plus Florida Forest Service crews and aerial support from Broward Sheriff's Office have conducted sustained ground and water‑drop operations.
- Officials ordered a voluntary evacuation of roughly 200 people, closed Krome Avenue in the affected corridor, and warned of possible power outages to protect responders and the public.
- Dry fuels, extreme heat and shifting winds drove rapid growth and lightning has sparked new plumes, so officials say containment progress will be watched closely as crews guard against new starts and smoky air that harms health.
