Firefighters in West Melbourne are battling a brush fire in an area near the intersection of Carriage Gate and Minton Road.

According to the Florida Forest Service, the fire is 25 acres in size. Originally, the agency estimated the fire to be 40 acres. As of 7:30 p.m., the fire was 70 percent contained.

Wind and dry conditions are playing a factor in firefighters being able to get the fire under control.

No evacuations were ordered, according to Brevard County Fire Rescue.

For Carmel Brown, a teacher at Greater Palm Bay Elementary School, the fire is too close for comfort.

"I was nervous," she said. "I was really nervous."

The school where Brown teach is near the brush fire.

"I just stayed here and I watched and I did a prayer," she said. "I said 'Lord, please don't let our school go down.'"

Multiple agencies are working the fire, including the Palm Bay Fire Department and the Melbourne Fire Department.

They used tractors to plow lines through the dirt to ensure the fire wouldn't spread.

Firefighters will monitor the fire through the night and plan to do mop ups on Monday.

Crews are also battling multiple fires in the Palm Bay area, which were reported around the same time.
