Florida Fires Complicate Deliveries
As fires continue to burn in South Florida, some florists are finding it difficult to deliver orders due to congested traffic conditions and road closures.

Over the weekend, firefighters battled flames that stretched more than 120 square miles from Brevard County to Miami, according to the Associated Press. Residents in the area are still advised to remain indoors to steer clear from smoky conditions, even though at press time fires were mostly contained to the rural Everglades National Park.
