A large wildfire in Big Cypress National Forest near Naples, Florida, has rapidly grown to 25,000 acres, exacerbated by the state's most severe drought in 25 years. The intense blaze has cast a pall of smoke over areas of Collier County and the Everglades, adding to the strain already felt across the region. This year alone, Florida has recorded over 650 wildfires, a testament to the dry conditions gripping the state.
