They noted, crews had difficulty putting the flames out, because there was not a fire hydrant near it. Instead, crews relied on other departments' tankers.

The cause was still unknown as of 4:30 a.m.

Firefighters advise there could be lingering smoke in the area off I-75, Friday morning, because of humidity.

Estero and North Collier Fire Departments also responded.
