Wildfire Grows, But Visibility Improves
A wildfire burning in Florida’s Everglades National Park is growing, but the sky is clearing a little.
Font Size:

(May 20, 2008)--South Florida's smoky sky is clearing a bit, even though a wildfire in Everglades National Park is still growing.

A dense smoke advisory was canceled after wind conditions improved visibility for drivers in Broward, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade counties, but officials are still advising children, the elderly and people with breathing problems to stay indoors.

The fire was burning almost 40,000 acres of Everglades National Park and is 30 percent contained.

It covered about 36,000 acres Monday.

Officials hope rising humidity will slow its spread.

The wildfire also was burning in the only known habitat for the endangered Cape Sable seaside sparrow.

Water flow was increased to the area, and state officials say the birds appeared to be safe.
