LEE COUNTY, Fla. — Lehigh Acres Fire Control and no fewer than three other agencies responded to a brush fire Wednesday afternoon in the area of Greenbriar Drive and Killon Street.

The fire grew to between 10-15 acres and moved northwest of the district line. The Caloosahatchee branch of the Florida Forest Service said the fire was 85% contained at 1:30 p.m.

Units from Alva, Fort Myers Shores, and the North Strike Team assisted. The fire jumped a canal into the Alva district, Lehigh said; no structures were endangered.

Lehigh Acres Fire says crews will remain on-scene for several hours watching for hot-spots and performing cleanup operations.
