Wildfires burned properties across four Central Florida counties Sunday, leading to evacuations in Osceola County and the shutdown of I-95 in Volusia County.<\/p>\n
Firefighters remained on the scene Monday morning as they prepared for a dry and potentially busy week.<\/p>\n
The recent fires have contributed to the more than 21,000 acres that have burned across Florida in the first 46 days of the year.<\/p>\n
In response to the increasing fire activity, several local governments have enacted burn bans to protect residential properties.<\/p>\n
Six Central Florida counties, Orange, Sumter, Marion, Brevard, Flagler, and Polk, are now prohibiting outdoor burns.<\/p>\n
In Osceola County, a column of smoke sent soot high into the air on Sunday as flames destroyed half of a nursery. The fire also forced the evacuation of nearby properties.<\/p>\n
Firefighters in Volusia County responded to flames that forced the shutdown of I-95.<\/p>\n
The fire reached a campground where 20 stored cars were burned.<\/p>\n
Officials also reported fire activity in Sumter and Flagler counties, as well as the Clermont area, on Saturday.<\/p>\n
Despite the damage across the four counties, no injuries have been reported in any of the fires.<\/p>\n
Crews are expected to remain at fire scenes for several days to extinguish remaining hot spots.<\/p>\n
Officials anticipate a dry and potentially busy week for firefighters across the region.<\/p>\n
