**Start Date/Time/Location** The Sandy Fire was discovered on May 24, 2025, approximately 25.5 miles ESE of Everglades City, FL, within the Big Cypress National Preserve[1][3]. **Size and Containment** As of the latest update, the fire has grown to 3,914 acres and is 60% contained[2]. **Growth and Rate of Spread** The fire has been burning in various fuel types including pines, grass, palmetto, and cypress. Initially, it was reported at a smaller size, but it has expanded significantly over the days. The fire's spread has been influenced by weather conditions, including an incoming cold front that brought dry conditions and changes in wind direction[3][4]. **Containment Efforts** A Type 3 Incident Management Team (IMT) has been assigned to manage the fire. Firefighters are using a full suppression strategy that includes direct and indirect attack, suppression burn out operations, and point protection to safeguard structures and natural resources[3].
