Putnam County Fire Rescue said winds have picked up and crews are working with the Florida Forest Service to contain it.

“Units are on scene with a confirmed wildfire at the end of Hoover Road near Pine Tree Drive,” officials said. “There is currently no threat to any structures.”

Florida Forest Service has three dozers and two brush trucks working the fire that began as a “spot over” from the “Roberts Ranch Fire” last night.

There are no road closures, no homes threatened, and no evacuations at this time. However, the Putnam County Sheriff’s Office did warn of smoke near North Palm Shores into areas of County Road 315 and State Road 20.

The Florida Forest Service will provide updates when available.
