Florida fires are creating a dangerous situation. Firefighters in the Brevard County town of Palm Bay have spent more than 48 hours battling the state's biggest blaze, which has damaged about 70 homes and scorched 3,500 acres, or about 5 1/2 square miles.
A 34-mile stretch of Interstate 95 in Brevard County and a portion of U.S. Highway 1 were closed . All 18 schools in Palm Bay are closed today.
Just south of Palm Bay, a 3,000-acre blaze destroyed at least four homes in nearby Malabar. 80 miles north in Daytona Beach, an 800-acre fire forced an evacuation order for about 500 homes .
Authorities were investigating the fire as a possible arson. There is a $10,000 reward in place for information leading to the arrest and conviction of anyone responsible for starting the fire.

A foreclosure auction scheduled this week for Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch was canceled after an investment company bought the loan.
Jackson had gone into default on the $24.5 million he owes on the 2,500-acre spread in Santa Barbara County. He has struggled to pay his debts in recent years after his financial empire crumbled following his arrest in 2003 on child molestation charges. A jury later acquitted him and he hasn't lived there for the past two years.
