Schools and parks reopen as smoke conditions improve near Florida waste facility fire that has been burning over a week

Schools and parks in Doral, Florida, will reopen Tuesday after a fire at a waste-to-energy facility that has been burning over a week raised air quality concerns.

Firefighters are still battling the flames, but smoke conditions in the area have improved, Miami-Dade County officials said in an update Monday.

On Friday, Doral Glades Park and Doral Legacy Park were closed, all outdoor activities in Doral were rescheduled and two Miami-Dade County Public Schools were dismissed early as firefighters worked to reach the center of the fire.
