episode_narrativeDry conditions assisted the growth of a brush fire in southwest Duval county, named the Normandy fire. Units from the Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department were initially called to the intersection of Normandy Boulevard and Duval County Road 217 at 4:30pm for a report of a brush fire. Upon arrival, fire units reported that they had several small spot fires merging into larger fire. They immediately requested additional units. The fire was brought under control around 9:30 pm that evening with forestry announcing the fire was 50% contained and no homes were threatened. The cause of the fire is under investigation, although it is believed a truck blew a tire and the axle scraped along the road, creating the small spot fires that led to the larger fire. On the 16h, about 2,000 acres were burned. By December 22nd, the fire was 95% contained an burned about 2600 acres.
