According to WeatherNation affiliate,
WPEC, some of the fires were caused by lightning during Tuesday's thunderstorms.
WPEC spoke with Melissa Yunas of the Florida Forest Service Wednesday.
“The conditions are ripe for wildfires along the Treasure Coast and Palm Beach counties,” Yunas said . “The role of the wind has been substantial.”

The National Weather Service has issued a red flag warning for some counties.

Florida residents and visitors should be VERY careful with any open flames to avoid sparking additional brush fires.
