Residents of Blounts Ridge Road and Rose Marie Place in north Brevard County were allowed to return home by 5 p.m. Thursday after a brush fire near Indian River Park was brought under control. The Brevard County Sheriff's Office confirmed access to affected homes is now permitted, though law enforcement and fire crews remain on site. The fire, which prompted a temporary evacuation, is reported at 35 acres with 50% containment according to the Florida Forest Service. Firefighters responded quickly to the blaze near I-95, which officials said was contained by late afternoon. 'I want to commend the great joint effort from our agency, Brevard County Fire Rescue and the Division of Forestry,' the sheriff's office said in a social media post. 'for the quick response and work to get operations underway to best contain this fire.' A separate incident occurred in Melbourne near Business Center Drive and Corporate Court, where flames sparked near Faith Fellowship Church. Authorities say that fire appears to be under control with no reported damage. Details on the size of the affected area remain unclear. Both fires were among multiple brush fires reported in Brevard County on Thursday. The Florida Forest Service provides an interactive map to track active wildfires in real time.
