The larger wildfire, which started on Monday, was 30% contained and had burned 13,400 acres. The smaller wildfire, which started on Tuesday, was 25% contained and had burned 500 acres.<\/p>\n

Carolina Herrera said she lives with an autoimmune condition that increased her sensitivity to the smoke. She was walking her dog in her community near the Turnpike in Miami-Dade.<\/p>\n

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue deployed about seven dozen units to the area of Northwest 137 Avenue and 25 Street, according to the active dispatch calls log. <\/p>\n

Drivers reported the smoke affected visibility early on Wednesday morning along the Florida Turnpike near Hialeah. The Florida Highway Patrol closed Krome Avenue temporarily at mile marker 23. <\/p>\n

MDFR personnel warned that the smoke was lifting as temperatures increased and asked residents to \u201climit time outdoors, keep doors and windows closed, and set air conditioning systems to recirculate indoor air.<\/p>\n

The pollution from these and other wildfires affected air quality in South Florida, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. <\/p>\n
