The small brush fire was reported about 2:45 p.m. on Occie Phillips Road near Walnut Hill. No structures were in danger from the fire. The Walnut Hill Station of Escambia Fire Rescue quickly brought the fire under control.

A red flag warning means that critical fire weather conditions are occurring now. A combination of strong winds and low relative humidity create enhanced fire growth potential. Outdoor burning is discouraged.
