Arson is suspected in a fire that threatened a Palm Beach County park and filled the air with thick smoke on Sunday.

More than 50 acres burned in a heavily wooded area in Okeeheelee Park in Greenacres. The area is being turned into an equestrian park.

Firefighters were forced to allow the fire to burn toward them at the edge of the park before they were able to fight the flames.

Firefighters remained at the park overnight to make sure hot spots didn't flare up.
