Florida fires continue to close roadways

Truckers using Interstates 75 or 10 in northern Florida faced the possibility of intermittent highway closures Monday because of smoke from wildfires.

According to The Associated Press, a fire that was sparked by lightning has burned nearly a quarter of a million acres in Georgia’s Okefenokee Swamp, and has spread into northern Florida.

Sections of I-75 and I-10 were closed Saturday and reopened briefly on Sunday before being shut down again when dense smoke limited visibility, The AP reported.
