Fire Weather Warning; One Brush Fire Reported

A fire weather warning is in effect for this afternoon due to an elevated fire danger, and one North Escambia brush fire has been reported.

The small brush fire was reported about 2:45 p.m. on Occie Phillips Road near Walnut Hill. No structures were in danger from the fire. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue quickly brought the fire under control.

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are occurring now. A combination of strong winds and low relative humidity create enhanced fire growth potential. Outdoor burning is discouraged.
