Dozens of firefighters are battling one of the biggest fires this area has seen in years.
It began about 5:30 Thursday evening at Rex Lumber Company on Dothan Street in downtown Graceville in northern Jackson County.
Graceville Fire Chief Tommy Dennis says they do have the fire under control but it will probably burn through the night and into Friday because of all the wood in and around the building.
They have no way of determining what started the blaze because they can't get inside and won't be able to for some time.
Firefighters from across several Florida counties and even Southeastern Alabama are still working together to put the fire out.
The good news is no one was hurt.
