BIG PINE KEY, Fla. (WSVN) — Firefighters work to contain a brush fire in Big Pine Key which burned nearly 100 acres, Wednesday.

At least one structure has reportedly been destroyed but there have been no injuries. Residents do not have to evacuate at this time.
The fire is 60 percent contained, as of Wednesday night.
In the meantime, Monroe County firefighters took the time to celebrate a small victory and posed with a turtle they rescued from the quick moving flames.
