Firefighters battle blazes across drought-stricken parts of Florida

OSTEEN, Fla. (AP) — Firefighters across central and southern Florida are battling wildfires that have temporarily shut down highways and caused some residents to be evacuated. On Sunday, firefighters in Pompano Beach said they found a badly charred body after they doused a brush fire. More than 900 acres had burned near Osteen in Volusia County as of early Sunday, although the Florida Forest Service says the fire is now 90% contained. Most of central and southern Florida are currently experiencing drought conditions, with the driest conditions concentrated around Sarasota and Punta Gorda.
