30-Acre Wildfire Threatens Florida Homes

March 24, 2011
VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla. -- Fire crews worked overnight to keep a close watch on a wildfire that crept dangerously close to several homes in New Smyrna Beach. More than 30 homes were threatened by the fast-moving wildfire in one of Volusia County's most rural areas on Wednesday night. The fire started just after 8:00pm off State Road 44 and intensified because of high winds and low humidity.
