Fast-moving wildfires along Florida’s Atlantic coast that have scorched at least 70 homes may be the work of arsonists, authorities said Tuesday.

Palm Bay, Fla., officials say they suspected arson after they received word of fires starting every 45 minutes Monday, beginning around 1:30 p.m. When they would put one fire out, another would appear to be set.

A witness saw someone in a car drop something into an open field Monday, and a fire started shortly afterward, an arson investigator said.

The relentless wildfires burned into the early morning Tuesday, taxing firefighters and overwhelming residents trying to save their homes with garden hoses.

Firefighters in the Brevard County town of Palm Bay have spent more than 48 hours battling the state’s biggest blaze, which has damaged about 70 homes and scorched 3,500 acres, or about 5 1/2 square miles.
