The smell of smoke was hard to miss out, and thick haze was seen in the air.<\/p>\n

Throughout the day, helicopters dropped water on hot spots as crews continued to work on getting the fires under control.<\/p>\n

According to officials, three fires remain active.<\/p>\n

The largest, the Quarry Fire, has burned more than 17,600 acres and is now 97% contained.<\/p>\n

The Well Fire has grown to 1,425 acres and is 60% contained, and the Coptic Fire has burned more than 5,700 acres and is 40% contained.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now, dry air and windy conditions are increasing the risk of fast- moving grass fires,\u201d said Erika Benitez with the Miami-Dade Fire Rescue.
Officials are asking residents to take caution.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlease avoid burning any yard debris on windy days,” Benitez said. “Never throw cigarettes out of your vehicle and avoid grilling near dry grassy areas.\u201d<\/p>\n

Officials are also warning residents to protect themselves as smoke continues to impact air quality.<\/p>\n

The fires have also forced evacuations.<\/p>\n

But there is some good news tonight.<\/p>\n

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office posted on X that residents of Jones Fish Camp who were forced to leave can now return home.<\/p>\n

The American Red Cross said it is still providing shelter and support to six people and a cat displaced by the fires.<\/p>\n

Krome Avenue remains closed between US 27 and Tamiami Trail.<\/p>\n

According to the Florida Forest Service’s website, there appears to be a fourth fire burring South of Tamiami Trail and West of Krome, which is 0% contained.<\/p>\n
