Florida panhandle residents are reeling after a wildfire swept through a residential community, burning through hundreds of acres and torching dozens of homes, as people fled with what little belongings they could carry.

An investigation into the fire in the Gulf Coast town of Eastpoint found that it was caused by a controlled burn, a technique used to manage forest growth, that got out of control, the Florida Commissioner of Agriculture Adam H. Putnam announced Wednesday in a statement.
