The brush fire that started in the Bayberry Lakes subdivision held inside its fire lines over Monday night, according to fire officials. All evacuations have been lifted.
Fire:
The 800-acre brushfire in northwest Daytona Beach has been confined, and the Division of Forestry said about 55 percent has been contained.
Crews said the weather has cooperated, and the shifting winds have actually pushed the fire back onto areas that had already burned.
Firefighters said no homes have been damaged in Daytona Beach, and no injuries were reported.
Evacuations:
All evacuations have been lifted. Around 500 people were evacuated in the Bayberry Lakes and LPGA International subdivisions. The city of Daytona Beach has resumed normal operations, and has discontinued staffing the Emergency Operations Center.
Hundreds of people spent most of the day forced out of their homes in the LPGA subdivision. Some were allowed back in, but only to grab some of their belongings and leave. Firefighters have since said they had enough handle on the fire to relax the evacuation -- but people still need to stay on alert.
Road Closures:
See all road closures.
Shelter:
The American Red Cross has established a shelter at the Hampton Inn, 1715 West International Speedway Blvd., Daytona Beach.
Pets:
Approximately 200 animals that were housed at the Halifax Humane Society (off LPGA Boulevard) were evacuated to the Volusia County Fairgrounds by the humane society and Volusia County Animal Control Services. They will be returned on Wednesday.
