Crews are monitoring a newly sparked wildfire burning in southwest Miami-Dade County late Monday night, with limited details available as firefighters continue to assess the situation.<\/p>\n

The blaze, now being called the “Highway 41 Fire,” was discovered just after 9 p.m. in an area west of Tamiami Trail and Krome Avenue.<\/p>\n

Officials say the fire has already burned an estimated 420 acres.<\/p>\n

As of Monday night, much of the information remains preliminary, with visuals from the scene showing active flames and smoke, but few confirmed details about containment or potential threats.<\/p>\n

Authorities say more information is expected Tuesday from the National Park Service, which is assisting in monitoring the fire.<\/p>\n

It’s unclear at this time what sparked the wildfire or whether any evacuations or road closures have been ordered.<\/p>\n

CBS Miami will continue to update this developing story as more details become available.<\/p>\n
