This wildfire exploding outside Miami, 
already burning more than 11,000 acres. 
Firefighters air-dropping water over towering plumes of smoke that can be seen for miles. 
This is the fire and 
this is in the direction of my house. 
>> The blaze fueled by dry grass in Florida's lush Everglades. 
The flames even visible from outer space. 
The brush fire broke out Sunday with the wind blowing mostly northwest away from population centers. 
So far, no injuries have been reported. 
But the wildfire has threatened some homes including Roxanne Gills. 
She says the fire was blocking the road. 
The only way to leave was to take an airboat. 
And tonight authorities urging residents near the smoke to stay indoors. 
Even healthy individuals may experience eye irritation, coughing, sore throat. 
And you can see off in the distance some smoke. 
That is where a lot of the firefighters efforts have been. 
We've seen multiple fire vehicles rushing in there throughout the afternoon. 
A helicopter dropping buckets of water over that area as this fire continues making its way, thankfully away from population centers and 
authorities have said that this blaze is 50% contained.
