North Fort Myers resident Ernie Schroeder lives next door to brush fire. “I just came here to check on the place, get my mail, and I seen a fire truck come in here and **my place is full of smoke, I was getting some small ash flying over there, so I moved some stuff out to the front,” Schroeder said.
