MDFR Battles Fast Moving Grass Fire In SWMD

First responders in Southwest Miami-Dade rushed to put out a fast-moving grass fire on Sunday afternoon.

Fire officials responded to the area of Southwest 76th Street and 72nd Court around 12 p.m. Rescue officials say that while the fire posed a danger to several homes, it also threatened wild animals living in a nearby nature preserve.

At last check, after battling for hours, officials said the flames are now contained to a small field.

No one was hurt.

Sunday’s fire comes after crews spent hours fighting a grass fire on Saturday, near Southwest 168th Street and 162nd Avenue.

Although the current fire fight seems to be over, neighbors are hoping these hotspots don’t reignite.

Fire officials urged residents to be careful, because any small spark could cause a major fire.

The cause of Sunday’s grass fire remains unknown.
