LAKE PLACID - Several homes were evacuated Friday afternoon east of town after wildfire swept close to dwellings.
The fire apparently began south of Rutledge Avenue and headed north to northeast driven by strong wind, according to law enforcement on the scene. The fire then crossed Crossview heading north and Highlands Lake Drive, which is east of Lake Placid on CR 621.
There are no reports of injuries at this time but firefighters are still battling flames. Law enforcement on the scene said the fire is partially contained near Lake Istokpoga.
Another small grass fire damaged a shed northwest of Sebring but was extinguished. No injuries have been reported.
