A 20 mile stretch of Interstate 95 in Brevard County is back open this afternoon. A brush fire that scorched 2,000 acres forced the Florida Highway Patrol to close the road yesterday. More than a dozen homes were evacuated in Grant and Palm Bay because of the blaze. Another 400 acre wildfire raged across Polk County.
Firefighters say lightening was the cause of that fire.
