Firefighters are battling multiple wildfires across parts of Florida and Georgia. 
Yesterday eight wildfires started outside Savannah, Georgia. 
The largest burned through 40 acres in just 3 hours. 
And outside Orlando, Amtrak canceled services two days in a row due to fire along the tracks. 
Now officials are warning residents to be prepared for even more fires. 
Reporter Nick Papantonis from our affiliate in Orlando has more. 
Crew stacking train cars on the Amtrak auto train hours after this. 
Flames tearing through trees and brush right along the railroad tracks in Clay County, forcing Amtrak to cancel trips for two days. 
Were you watching it nervously? 
>> No, well we we were nervous about smoke and some trains being held up. 
Jim Holman and his wife joined the hundreds of other cars eager to depart after Amtrak declared the tracks safe enough to pass through after dozens of bulldozers and aircraft joined the firefighting effort. 
They have to determine what is the safe safest measures they need to take. 
And on Tuesday, the auto train got the green light to leave Sanford 15 minutes ahead of schedule as state forestry leaders begged Floridians to be fire prepared. 
Here's the truth. The peak fire season is not here yet. That's usually toward the end of May. 
We have not received the end of May. lightning so far. 
And when that comes and it's coming, we're going to be as as busy as we probably been in decades. 
Nick Papantonis, thank you.
