Jason Aldean had to leave his home to get to safety.

Amid ongoing wildfires in Florida, Aldean and his family evacuated their home, according to Taste of Country.

The Associated Press reports that 500 people have been displaced due to the 2,000-acre fire.

Country star Chris Janson is also in the area, and shared a photo of the fire on Twitter, sending prayers to people who have lost their homes and businesses.

The fire began after a prescribed fire reportedly got out of control on Monday. The current evacuation order stands until noon on Thursday, with about 65 per cent of the blaze contained.
