State officials now say at least 900 people have been evacuated because of a Taylor Bridge Fire which has destroyed 70 homes and burned across more than 40 square miles or 28,000 acres.

No injuries were reported from the blaze, which began at a bridge construction site Monday afternoon, Department of Natural Resources Fire Incident Commander Rex Reed said.

Fire commanders estimated the blaze has burned across at least 28,000 acres, or almost 44 square miles, and was not contained. Fire crews were arriving from across the state Tuesday, with as many as 600 expected by the end of the day.
