A fire in Lehigh Acres had crews rushing to save homes. Now the flames are gone, and one family is being cited.
Fire Marshal has determined the cause of the fire was an illegal burn, left unsupervised. Burning yard waste is not advised during our current fire danger conditions; and an outdoor burn should always be supervised. pic.twitter.com/RTDM6vQe66
