According to the San Carlos Park Fire Department spokeswoman Alexis Rothring, crews from San Carlos Park Fire Department, Department of Forestry and the South Strike Team responded. A helicopter made 26 water drops to help contain the fire, Quinn said. At one point Sunday afternoon, the water plant fire was burning just five acres from the airport. And there was some concern all of the smoke would affect flights coming in and out of RSW. But a spokeswoman from the Lee County Port Authority says all operations are running smoothly at this time. “All the factors—it’s very dry out. And we’re just trying to quickly contain every fire we get called to so that it doesn’t get to massive size,” Quinn said. #WaterPlantFire is 25 acres and 25% contained. All units are currently engaged, the seabreeze has died down. The helicopter made 10 water drops, which has helped cool the #wildfire @SanCarlosParkFD — FFS Caloosahatchee (@FFS_cafc) March 25, 2018 #WaterPlantFire multiple agencies actively working the #wildfire including @SanCarlosParkFD @EsteroFire @SouthTrailFD Southwest Florida Regional Airport, Bonita Springs Fire Rescue District, and Lee County EMS #FLFire #FlWildfire #wildfire — FFS Caloosahatchee (@FFS_cafc) March 25, 2018
