JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2013 The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department has confirmed that several vehicles are on fire at a business on West Beaver Street.<\/p>\n
The scene is a used auto parts facility in the Commonwealth area of Northwest Jacksonville.<\/p>\n
News4JAX has learned that firefighters are working to prevent the car fires from spreading to a nearby wooded area.<\/p>\n
Firefighters say there is danger or threat to surrounding communities or neighborhoods<\/p>\n
JFRD said it will be monitoring the scene through the afternoon into the early evening. <\/p>\n
Crews with the Florida Forestry Service were also on the scene, putting a security line around the auto parts yard. <\/p>\n
As of 2 p.m., a half-acre of land has burned and the fire is 50% contained, according to the Forestry Service. <\/p>\n
It\u2019s unclear how the fire started. <\/p>\n
Jacksonville\u2019s risk for wildfires remains high amid the ongoing extreme drought. <\/p>\n
The combination of dry ground — over 25 inches in our rainfall deficit in some areas — and gusty winds has increased fire danger.<\/p>\n
The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office was not reporting any lane closures in the area, as of 1:15 p.m.<\/p>\n
