NORTH FORT MYERS, Fla. Firefighters were able to contain a 5-acre brush fire on the corner Palm Creek Drive and Aqua Vista Lane Wednesday afternoon, the Bayshore Fire Rescue District said.

The blaze started around 1:30 p.m. While the fire threatened three homes, no evacuations were necessary, Chief Larry Nesbit said.

It appears a neighbor burning yard trash is what caused the fire, according to Nesbit.

No further information is immediately available.
