NAPLES, Fla. (WFLA) — A raging Florida brush fire came very close to homes on Wednesday.
A video from Greg Milewicz showed intense flames and smoke take over the back yard's of several homes in the Wilshire Lakes neighborhood in Naples.
"Holy (explitive) the heat. I called the fire department they should be here," Milewicz said in the video.
Milewicz's video showed some people battle the flames with their garden hoses. He told several neighbors to leave their homes and get to safety.
"There were huge flames in people's backyards, in our neighborhood, and the smoke just kept rising and rising," Kristin Milewicz told Naples Daily News.
The Florida Forest Service said the fire spanned 10 acres off Interstate 75, south of Immokalee Road. WFTX reported that the fire was 98% contained on Thursday morning.
