A fire in Martin County, Florida burned 136 acres Sunday night and early Monday morning before firefighters stopped the spread at 3:21 a.m. near Fox Brown Road.

Wildland firefighter Dave Grubich took these excellent photos from inside a firefighting dozer building containment line.

One of the challenges the dozer operators faced on the fire were the wet areas, and avoiding becoming mired in the mud.
