Wednesday, May 14th, 2008 — The trail of destruction sparked by Central Florida’s wildfires grew Tuesday, with up to 160 homes damaged or destroyed in Palm Bay alone. Arson is suspected in 11 fires, and authorities increased the reward from $5,000 to $15,000 for information that leads to an arrest. Meanwhile, new fires erupted near Cocoa. But residents in some areas of Brevard County found relief as firefighters subdued flames that turned Palm Bay and Malabar into a patchwork of charred homes and wooded lots.
