Brush Fire in South Miami-Dade Shuts Down Access to Florida Keys

A massive brush fire in South Miami-Dade has caused significant disruptions, shutting down all road access to the Florida Keys. The fire, which started near the border of Miami-Dade and Monroe County, has led to the closure of Card Sound Road and U.S. 1 in both directions. This closure has effectively blocked all traffic to and from the Florida Keys, leaving residents and visitors stranded.

The fire, reported on March 18, 2025, has grown rapidly due to dry conditions and high winds, prompting an urgent response from local fire departments and emergency services. Authorities are working tirelessly to contain the blaze and restore access to the affected areas. The Monroe County Sheriff's Office has advised residents to stay informed through official channels and prepare for possible evacuation orders.

The impact of the fire extends beyond immediate travel disruptions, with concerns about potential damage to local ecosystems and wildlife. The situation remains fluid, and updates are expected as the fire continues to be a significant threat to the region.
