A lightning strike sparked the flames at the Okefenokee Swamp on April 6.

Officials said the West Mims fire is about eight percent contained.

They predict it could burn a quarter of the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge before it turns one month old.

Just a few days ago, the refuge rescued a fawn from the fires.

A photograph posted on the refuge's Facebook page captures the incredible moment.

The post reads, “You guys have heard the Smokey Bear story, right? So this might be the start of something BIG!!! Who wants to name the "Bambi?" Better yet, who wants to write a song about the rescue of this little dude? He (she?) was removed from the Chesser Island area just before a tactical burnout - so safe and sound! #firefightersrock! #westmimsfire#okefenokee.”
