Florida Authorities Suspect Arson in Wildfire

Officials in Florida suspect arson as the cause of a wildfire that has scorched approximately 3,000 acres in Brevard County.

The fire is one of four that has hit two eastern counties in the state over the weekend. While firefighters tackle the blaze, the good news is that it is situated in a rural area and only a few homes are in its path.

A fire buring in Volusia County resulted in the evacuation of nearly 600 homes. That particular fire has consumed more than 500 acres.

There have been no fatalities to date reported in any of the fires.
