A small brush fire broke out around 11 a.m. today when a truck delivering palm trees to a construction site on Del Prado Boulevard accidentally hit electrical wires at the corner of Southeast 15th Place and Southeast 25th Terrace, just south of the Veterans Memorial Parkway overpass. Workers using fire extinguishers helped put out the fire until a Cape Coral Fire Department truck and crew arrived and doused the flames. Power was out for a short period of time in the area but quickly restored.
