MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — An air quality alert is in effect for Miami-Dade County Monday as two brush fires that erupted last week continue to burn.
A south-east wind direction has helped push the smoke and haze from the brush fires more inland so air quality has improved for much of Broward County, but there is an air quality alert in effect for Miami-Dade until 3 p.m.
The fire dubbed “Quarry 2,” east of Krome Avenue, has been the most widespread, burning 19,018 acres so far. It is 97% contained, while the Well Fire, near Northwest 122nd Avenue, has burned 2,749 acres. It is 85% contained.
No road closures are currently in effect due to the wildfires.
