Brush Fire Disrupts Traffic in Florida Keys and South Miami-Dade

A significant brush fire has severely impacted traffic flow in and out of the Florida Keys and South Miami-Dade, prompting authorities to take immediate action. The fire, which began near the 18-Mile Stretch and Card Sound Road in Upper Key Largo, has grown to affect a larger area, leading to the closure of Card Sound Road in both directions. This closure has caused substantial delays and disruptions for commuters and travelers trying to navigate through the region.

The Monroe County Sheriff's Office and other local agencies are working tirelessly to manage the situation and ensure public safety. Efforts are underway to contain the fire, but the challenging terrain and weather conditions are complicating the response. The fire's proximity to residential areas and key transportation routes has heightened concerns among local residents and officials.

As the situation develops, travelers are advised to seek alternative routes and stay updated on the latest information from local authorities. The impact of this fire underscores the ongoing challenges posed by natural disasters in the region and the importance of preparedness and swift response.
