WildFirePolice say one or more arsonists may be responsible for the nine wildfires ravaging Florida’s Atlantic coast. A witness saw someone in a car drop something into an open field Monday, and a fire started shortly afterward. About 100 homes have been destroyed or damaged in the fires, which are burning for the third consecutive day. Gov. Charlie Crist has already declared a state of emergency. His orders allow Florida to use federal funds and bring local emergency workers under state control.
