PALM CITY, FL (AP) -- A brush fire in western Martin County burned barns, cars and fences. Homes have been spared by the 75-acre fire near Palm City. Two firefighters have been treated for smoke inhalation and fatigue. Firefighters stamped out the last flames in an area dotted with horse ranches and newly built homes.
The fire started in a nature preserve west of Interstate 95. It spread across the highway and jumped across wetlands and canals. A section of the highway was shut down in both directions for several hours. Up to 80 firefighters from Martin, St. Lucie and Palm Beach counties worked the fire.
