Wildfires creating smoke issues in Broward, Palm Beach counties

Three wildfires are causing smoke to drift from western parts of northern Broward County into eastern portions, obscuring vision in some areas and possibly affecting those with respiratory issues.

The fire that seems to be causing the biggest problems right now is 2 Bravo, according to the Florida Forest Service website.

It’s a 50-acre fire west of the Sawgrass Expressway that had 0% containment as of 10:30 a.m., according to the website.

There’s also a 2Alpha fire that’s burning in the southern portion of western Palm Beach County. That 300-acre fire is causing smoke and ash to be blown into Boca Raton. The 2Alpha fire is 5% contained, according to the website.

There is also a L39 fire that’s burning in Palm Beach County, a 300-acre blaze reported to be 5% contained.

Dry conditions have made parts of South Florida ripe for fire danger for more than a week.
