JACKSONVILLE, FL -- A 200 acre wildfire is burning on the Westside near Cecil Field.

A spokesman for the Jacksonville Fire & Rescue says no homes are threatened as of Monday evening.

The fire is burning near Alcoy road which is off Normandy Boulevard.

The Division of Forestry has three tractors, a helicopter and a plane headed to the scene to join a handful of brush trucks, engines and tankers from Jacksonville Fire & Rescue.

We have a crew headed to the scene and we'll bring you more information once it becomes available.

I REALLY hope it doesnt spread like all the other fires have. Its RIGHT near me.... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v40/KatrinaR/DSC02896-1.jpg
That is smoke... not clouds :teehee

Yuck we get fires in Southern Az too its always nasty when that happens.

OH MY!! I didn't know about the fires, guess I am little clueless :blush

I hope they get it under control!

They have ten trucks, a fix plane and 2 helicopters trying to put it out. They have set up a station for the fire fighters... which worries me, cause that means they do not have a handle on it yet. Its less than 4 miles away from us. Not sure which direction its burning in yet, but hopefully the other direction from me :D

I do not miss that about FL. They were horrible when I lived in the Daytona area.

The fires are always scary, I sure don't miss all the firestorms in So. Cali

The fire department is patroling our housing now. :neutral
I hope we dont have to leave.

Im crazy. My favourite smell in the whole world is a bush fire.

I don't like the smell of house fires though, so i hope it dosn't get any closer!!

Egh, I hate wildfires. I hope that they get it under control soon!

Oh man Kat stay safe. I would gather any important stuff together just incase you have to leave in a hurry. I'll :pray for you.
