I admit that I had to look it up to find out where it was, but Stones River National Battlefield near Murfreesboro, Tennessee had a wildfire in the park on Wednesday. Apparently they suppressed it with the help of the local fire department without too much drama. The park has an active prescribed fire program, but this one was not planned.

Ashley McDonald, public information officer for Murfreesboro Fire and Rescue Department, said the fire burned about nine acres.
