Mile Marker 40 Fire Burns 3600 Acres | Miami News

A massive wildfire, dubbed the Mile Marker 40 fire, has erupted in Broward County near US-27 and I-75, burning 3,600 acres and remaining zero percent contained as of Friday morning. Sparked Thursday afternoon, the blaze is sending thick smoke drifting north into Broward and potentially into southern Palm Beach County, fueled by southwesterly winds. While no structures are currently threatened, the fire’s rapid spread through the Everglades underscores Florida’s dry conditions—even amid humidity. The Florida Forest Service is monitoring the situation closely, with containment and air quality protection as top priorities as the fire continues to evolve.
