		</div><p>A wildfire which has scorched 76 square miles near the Georgia-Florida state line could keep burning for the next six months, officials said.</p>
<p>The fire was sparked by lightning on April 6 inside the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge.</p>
<p>It grew by 76% over the weekend as winds pushed flames deeper into areas of the swamp parched by drought.</p>
<p>Susan Granbery of the Georgia Forestry Commission said there was no immediate threat to communities outside the vast refuge.</p>
<p>More than 430 firefighters and support personnel are working to contain the fire.</p>
<p>Ms Granbery said only a big rainstorm will be able to extinguish the blaze, and forecasters predict that may not happen until November.</p>
<p>A 2011 wildfire inside the refuge burned for a full year.</p>
