T ALLAH ASSEK.FIa.? An 8,000-acre
wildlife tire killed a firefighter, injured
another and forced 75 people to flee their
homes Wednesday, while police arrested a
man on charges he set a separate blaze nearby,
authorities said.
Farther north, an arsonist lit 40 separate
blazes as brush fires plagued tinder-dry
Florida, officials said.
The bla/e near Naples on the state's west
coast destroyed at least 8,000 acres and burned
five homes near Golden Gate Boulevard,
although the extent of the damage to the
houses was not known, said Jodi Chase, a
spokesman for the state Division of Forestry.
About 75 residents were evacuated to
shelters, she said.

In another Naples blaze near Interstate 75,
police arrested Eddie Richardson on an arson
charge, said Cpl. Kevin Nelson of the Collier
County Sheriff's Department.
Earlier in the day. Nelson had said
Richardson was arrested in connection with
the blaze that killed state firefighter Marco
A. Miranda, 26, of Naples. But he later said
that was not the case and that Richardson
was a suspect in the fire near Interstate 75
instead.
Richardson, however, remains a suspect in
the larger blaze, although he has not been
charged with setting it, Nelson said. Richardson
already faces murder charges filed
against him last fall in a separate, non-arson
case, Nelson said.
