Frostproof Fire Department responded to an outside fire on Murray Road and Scenic Highway, near the railroad tracks.
Upon arrival, crews found two separate fires covering approximately 1.5 acres. Firefighters quickly worked to extinguish the flames and thoroughly overhauled the area to ensure the fire was completely out.
The fire appears to have been started when a passing train threw sparks onto dry, dead vegetation.
All of our firefighters worked hard in hot and tiring conditions and did an outstanding job containing and extinguishing the fire.
A special thank-you to PCFR Brush 26 for your assistance. We appreciate your support!
Great job by everyone involved!
