9:50 A.M. : Regarding the Newman Drive Brush Fire, evacuations are still in place for the following streets: Stable Way, Newman Drive, Barton Gilba Drive, Benfield Road and Le Buffs Road.
Evacuations have been lifted for Forest Glen Community.
Residents of the following communities should remain on alert and follow brush fire developments: Sun Retreat, Panther Walk RV Resort, Forest Glen, Caymas, Seven Shores, Sapphire Cove, Milano Lakes, Hammock Park Apartments and Azure.
Please DO NOT operate drones in the area of the active brush fire. It impedes the safety of the first responders and interferes with fire operations.
First responders are grateful for the generous offers of food and volunteer assistance from the community but at this time we have no outstanding needs.
