A US Airforce training mission on the bombing range sparks a fire in the Ocala National Forrest. The fire has now burnt around 1,200 acres but Zone Fire Management officer for the Ocala National Forrest, Mike Drayton says it is now 50 percent contained. Drayton says US fire service employees , US Navy personnel and two helicopters that are stationed at the forrest are the ones working on the containment of this fire. Now, Drayton says the problem with the fire is the wind movement and very little rain. Drayton says luckily no one needed to be evacuated since the fire is in the middle of nowhere.
