North Collier Fire Control & Rescue District responded to a brush fire that caused traffic delays in Collier County Monday night.

The fire began around 6 p.m. along Oil Well Road and as of 9 a.m. has been about 75 percent contained.

Oil Well Rd. was shut down at the intersection with State Road 29 for about two hours due to the fire and has since reopened.

Firefighters contained the fire, but they are worried it could start up again with the windy conditions.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
