From Times Wire Reports
Crews worked to assemble a pipeline to carry a constant stream of water to a pair of swamp wildfires in central Florida that have closed a major highway and interrupted major league baseball spring training.
The two blazes had charred about 10,500 acres. Neither fire had gained ground since Thursday, and the larger one, a 10,000-acre blaze, was 85% contained. Authorities believe that fire was started by a resident illegally burning trash.
