ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (AP) — Officials say firefighters have finally contained a fire that's burned more than 1,000 acres at Gulf State Park near Alabama's main tourist beaches.
The city of Orange Beach says the fire was contained Friday nearly a week after it began in southern Baldwin County.
Fire crews are still on the scene, but they're not planning any more back burns to halt the spread of the blaze.
The fire has blackened a large section of forestland between the beachfront road and the intracoastal waterway near Orange Beach and Gulf Shores. Officials say no major property damage is reported.
