Forest Service warns Columbia, Baker County residents of two spreading wildfires

The U.S. Forest Service has issued warnings to residents in Columbia and Baker Counties about two active wildfires: the Gun Range Fire near Lake City and the Sand Drain Fire along the northern boundary of Osceola National Forest. Officials say hot, dry, and windy weather conditions are making the fires difficult to contain and are requiring heightened vigilance from firefighting crews.
