Frostproof, Florida – Firefighters saved four residential homes from a brush fire in south Frostproof. Polk County Fire Rescue was dispatched just before 1 p.m. Saturday, March 11, to Acie Lane where fire came within 20 to 30 feet of residential homes. Firefighters were able to stop the fire before it reached the homes.
Although the homes are no longer in danger, the 10 to 20 acre fire is still burning. The Florida Forest Service is using tractors to create a fire line plow around the fire, as firefighters from Frostproof Fire Department, Fort Meade Fire Department and Polk County Fire Rescue work together to bring the fire under control.
