While the rain was needed over the weekend, the lightning that came with it sparked more brush fires.
A 400-acre blaze ignited around 3:15 p.m. on Sunday and is burning along state Road 50 near the Orange-Brevard county line, WESH 2 News reported.
The area that is burning is a federal bird sanctuary, officials said.
Authorities said they're letting the blaze burn, but they're making sure it doesn't approach area businesses.
