Lehigh Acres Firefighters quickly extinguished an intense blaze outside a Lehigh Acres home early Friday morning before it was able to spread.
Flames ripped through a shed adjacent to a home on Grandview Drive, causing nearby trees to start on fire. The back portion of the home was damaged by the heat, but fortunately nobody was injured.
A couple, who is house sitting, said the bedroom they were sleeping in is next to the shed and the heat from the fire woke them up. They called 911 around 4 a.m., and firefighters were able to get the fire out in minutes.
Lehigh Acres Fire officials do not believe the fire is suspicious but are working to determine the cause.
