Bay County firefighters have been battling several wildfires since Thursday.

According to the Florida Forest Service wildfire map, an active fire on Daffin Lake Road is 30 percent contained, a second wildfire on Dogwood Way is 75 percent contained, and a blaze on Alvie Holmes Road has been put out.

The map says the Dogwood Way fire is 25 acres and lists the Alvie Holmes Road fire as 10 acres.

On Friday, officials confirmed the fire had already stretched 100 acres, leading to the evacuation of more than 250 homes in the Springfield area.

Bay County officials are urging residents in the Brentwood and Avondale Estates neighborhoods to evacuate immediately.

Folks in the area of Alva Thomas Road are also advised to evacuate.

According to WJHG, a stand-alone emergency room on Highway 231 was shut down, and patients were evacuated due to the fire.

Video footage from the affected areas showed thick smoke billowing from several locations.

Firefighters believe the massive blaze may have been sparked by someone burning trash outdoors.

Initial reports said the fire was between 30 and 40 acres near Adkins Avenue and Tyndall Parkway.
