Description
The Florida Forest Service is working to extinguish a brush fire that has spread to almost 500 acres in the River Ranch area of Polk County.
The brush fire is located off State Road 60, just east of Frostproof. Evacuations are underway for some homes and buildings in the Canopy Oaks portion of River Ranch.
At this time, 10 tractors are rolling through some fire breaks to stop flames from spreading as 50% of the fire has been contained, Florida Forest Service says. However, wind and the dry brush conditions are making it more difficult to contain.
