Florida wildfires threaten homes amid massive blaze
Firefighters from six states battled widespread Florida wildfires that have consumed 218000 acres since Memorial Day. Officials warn only days of soaking rain can halt the outbreak, with 10 inches needed but not all at once. One subdivision, Plantation Pines, was evacuated but saved. Lafayette Landing remained at risk as crews widen trenches. Over 2500 firefighters labored, with North Carolina sending 20 tractor plow rigs to aid containment.
