FORT LAUDERDALE-HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, FLA. (WSVN) - The departures level roadway at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has reopened to traffic after a car fire forced its closure, authorities said.
A Jeep burst into flames at around 11:15 a.m., Thursday.
Officials urged motorists to use the arrivals (lower) level for dropping off or picking up passengers while the upper level remained blocked.
The fire has since been extinguished, though it temporarily affected normal traffic flow into the airport.
Just before 12:20 p.m., the roadway was reopened to traffic.
