Davie Wildfire Smoke: What We Know So Far
Davie fire officials are monitoring ongoing brush fires burning in the Everglades west of Broward County, and officials say there is no immediate threat to Davie or Southwest Ranches. This is what we know so far.
According to the Town of Davie, residents may still see smoke in parts of the area depending on wind direction and weather conditions. The town said the fires are being watched closely, but there are no immediate threats to either municipality at this time.
CBS News Miami reported a separate Broward brush fire near U.S. 27 and Griffin Road that prompted a multi-agency response involving Davie Fire Rescue, the Florida Forest Service and Broward Sheriff's Office Fire Rescue. The fire had grown to about 120 acres by 9 p.m., according to CBS News Miami.
No injuries or fatalities have been reported in the available sources. Officials also have not released a cause, and there is no confirmed information about suspicious activity or arson.
The response involves local and state firefighting agencies, which suggests the fire danger is being handled as a broad wildland incident rather than an isolated neighborhood blaze. The town's statement indicates the main concern for residents is smoke exposure, not evacuations or immediate structural threats.
Dispatch records show 13 similar brush fire incidents in Davie over the past six months, underscoring how frequently the area has dealt with this type of emergency.
Officials have not announced a timeline for the next update, and no formal investigation status has been confirmed in the available sources.
Day.News will continue to update this story as officials release more information.
