The home nearby remains untouched by the flames and the Lee County Sheriff’s Office has the road blocked off. With the cold weather and dry season upon us, Lehigh Acres Fire Rescue said fires spring up easily. “It is getting to be where its getting very cold this weekend, that’s going to dry out a lot of brush and debris that’s around here. It’s really important for people to start to be fire-wise in our neighborhoods,” said Katie Heck with Lehigh Acres Fire Rescue. Fire is out; crews will be on scene mopping up hot spots. pic.twitter.com/xmV4sCFMMG — Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District (@LehighAcresFD) December 6, 2023 Investigators are still working to find the cause of the fire.
