Wildfire in Jackson County Mississippi | Mobile News

A wildfire tore through Jackson County, Mississippi, Sunday, torching over 1,400 acres and forcing evacuations near I-10—now lifted but with crews still battling hotspots. Wind made containment tough, and residents like Charles Wilson on Bayou Cumbest Road described heart-stopping scenes of flames over 100 feet high, narrowly missing his home. He credited the Forestry Commission for saving his property, calling the ordeal “like a movie.” With 65% of the blaze contained thanks to a rain shower, officials urge locals to stay clear—it’s still an active danger zone.
