Fire on west end of 30A?

[soappedaler]

Anyone have information about a fire on the west end of 30A? I can see the smoke and it looks like traffic is being routed to 30A from 98. I'm thinking it must be north of 98. There's smoke and ash east of Butler School.

The South Walton Fire District is working to extinguish around three acres of brush fire. Officials ask drivers to use caution when traveling in the area due to heavy smoke from the fire
