Multiple units extinguished the fire, while one of the OFD units blocked the exit ramp from other vehicles.

No injuries were reported as a result of the fire.

The fire is one of many that have broken out among homes and wooded areas in Central Florida over the past few weeks, as drought conditions worsen.

Over the weekend, multiple brush fires broke out in the tri-county area, including one that consumed 2.5 acres of woods in Longwood.
