UPDATE:
5:10 p.m.:
The wildfire burning in Gretna is now contained. The Sycamore VFD told WTXL ABC 27 that the wildfire actually began on Friday, was put out, but then the winds picked up on Saturday, rekindling the fire that grew to over 20 acres.
Florida Forestry says there was no damage to any structures and that hot spots will smolder for a couple of days.
Earlier, ABC 27 was told by the Gadsden County Sheriff's Office that the fire was originally a controlled burn that got out of hand, but fire officials on scene say they believe the fire is suspicious in nature.
Right now, there are several burn bans in effect due to the dry conditions. Leon, Jefferson, Gadsden, and Calhoun Counties all have bans in place.
Gretna VFD, Greensboro VFD, Mt. Pleasant VFD, Sycamore VFD, and Chattahoochee VFD all responded to the fire.
