Crews are continuing to dig containment lines around the fire to keep the flames isolated to one area. They are dumping thousands of gallons of water per minute on the fire.
More than 100 local firefighters spent days trying to get a handle on the flames. They were given a much-needed break when crews from the Florida Forest Service showed up to help on Sunday morning.
Now, first responders are getting the upper hand. They are continuing to dig containment lines around the fire to keep the flames isolated to one area. They are dumping thousands of gallons of water per minute on the fire."What we will do afterward, once they get this all smooth, then we will bring the brush trucks and start smoothing down the edges and everything else to make sure it stays inside the box," said Brian Prill with Florida Fire Service.
