CAMDEN COUNTY, Ga. -- The Waverly fire has been contained and firefighters are working to extinguish it, according to the Camden County Sheriff's Office.
The fire burned more than 1,200 acres.
But other fires on the First Coast are still drawing many firefighters from across the regions.
Volunteers at the Moose lodge in Crescent City were making lunches for firefighters today and are looking for donations to sustain their efforts.
The lodge has enough supplies to feed the 50 volunteer Putnam County firefighters for the next three days, said Jackie Abel, who organizers the firefighters.
The lodge, part of the Loyal Order of the Moose, also fed them dinner last night for Father's Day. But it is in need of supplies so it can continue to help, said Kim Horn, an administrator.
The lodge is asking for bread, mustard, ketchup, plastic utensils and non-perishable food items. Those wanting to donate should call (386) 649-0745.
In the Waccasassa Fire District (Putnam County) there are 73 wildfires - many caused by lightning - burning about 8,100 acres. Last week, organizers began looking for volunteer firefighters to help control the blazes.
According to Putnam EMS, there are more than 50 fires burning 5,700 acres in the county, twice as many as in St. Johns.
In St. Johns County, crews are checking the smoldering areas today and doing mop-up work. There were three new fires over the weekend but are all contained. Currently, there are 27 fires currently burning in St. Johns.
The wildfires that have raised havoc in Southeast Georgia and parts of the First Coast in Florida have not presented major problems in Jacksonville other than smoke.
Within a 50 mile radius of Jacksonville, there are about 157 active wildfires burning 280,595.4 acres
But in the past month there have been only a half dozen active fires within the city limits that have consumed about 100 acres, according to the state Division of Forestry.
"A vast majority of the brush fires have been small in size primarily due to the fact that were were able to get to them with such rapid response that they could not have become bigger fires," said Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department spokesman Tom Francis.
Francis pointed out on most days fire crews respond to brush fires and the fires are snuffed out quickly.
The fire department has 10 brush trucks designed primarily to attack fires that pop up in difficult areas to get to.
Jacksonville did have a major wildfire last December before the wildfire season officially started in January. That fire off Normandy Boulevard in the Maxville area charred nearly 2,000 acres.
