SCPFD Battles Brush Fire
Members of the San Carlos Park Fire and Rescue, Lee County EMS and Florida Forestry Service responded to an brushfire in San Carlos Park off Alico Road on Sunday, April 3rd. Firefighters arrived on scene to find a large column of smoke showing from the wooded area off Alico Road near Airport Haul Road. Wind speed and fuel were major concerns however, the fire was contained well and reached only 8 acres in size by the time it was suppressed.
SCPFD would like to remind citizens to be aware of fire danger conditions currently in place. Please join us in preventing brushfires by becoming proactive in brushfire prevention. San Carlos Park citizens are strongly advised to use common sense whenever using anything that can cause a flame or spark, and to clear the area around their home of brush and vegetation to reduce the fire risk.
