A large brush fire near the Osceola-Polk county line has scorched about 70 acres and damaged multiple structures.
The fire, located along Osceola Polk Line Road in Davenport, was reported on Sunday and quickly grew in size, according to Polk County. Officials say containment is approximately 80%, but crews are still working to bring the blaze under full control.
Fire departments from Davenport and Haines City, along with the Florida Forest Service and Orange County Fire Rescue, are all helping.
Polk County currently has an emergency burn ban in place due to dangerously dry conditions. Residents are asked to remain cautious and follow all restrictions as fire crews continue their work in the area.
