Gun Range Fire near Lake City reaches 65% containment after crew efforts

Firefighters battling the Gun Range Fire in Osceola National Forest have brought the roughly 130-acre blaze to 65% containment, aided by cooler, more humid weather that helped suppress hot spots. Helicopter crews conducted reconnaissance and water-drop operations as part of the containment push. The fire is one of two in the region — along with the Sand Drain Fire in Baker County — that prompted U.S. Forest Service warnings to residents in Columbia and Baker Counties about potential wildfire spread.
