The Nation - News from Feb. 4, 1985
Firefighters contained a new wildfire that burned 400 acres of grass and woods just five miles west of the busy Miami International Airport, authorities said. Flights were not affected because winds were blowing the black smoke away from the airport about 10 miles west of downtown Miami, the Federal Aviation Administration said. The new blaze broke out after firefighters thought they had extinguished or at least contained most of the fires that have burned more than 122,000 acres in the state since Jan. 1.
