According to the Florida Forest Service Sunday morning, the Adkins Avenue Fire and the Bertha Swamp Road Fire are burning nearly 10,000 acres.
Officials say the weather is expected to remain dry and windy. Fire danger levels are still elevated.
Fire officials say there has been increased activity Sunday morning. People living in the Bear Creek area were put under a mandatory evacuation order Saturday when the fire pushed from Gulf County into Bay and Calhoun Counties. Officials say the fire was driven by strong winds and is burning through thick, dead trees and vegetation left behind from Hurricane Michael.
We’re told Florida Forest Service Helicopters have dropped more than 103,000 gallons of water on the fire since Friday. They say there are 25 tractor plow units working to build fire lines around the fire to prevent it from spreading. They say this fire has been fanned by high winds over the last 24 hours, and high winds are expected to continue Sunday.
