Firefighters reported progress in efforts to corral a 26,800-acre, six-day-old fire in northern Florida, while a swamp fire threatened a Georgia state park and lightning fires burned New Mexico forests. The movement of the 13-mile-long, five-mile-wide fire near Madison, Fla., was stalled and posed no threat to homes in the sparsely populated area. A fire near Fargo, Ga., has burned at least 3,000 acres of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge but was still not contained, officials said.
