Firefighters from the Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District were working a house fire on Fifth Avenue on Wednesday evening, and fire officials told a Fort Myers newsroom the home is clear of potential victims

Firefighters were working a house fire on Fifth Avenue in Lehigh Acres on Wednesday evening. Gulf Coast News reported crews from the Lehigh Acres Fire Control and Rescue District on the scene, in a story by James Curtis updated at 7.09 p.m.

Fire officials told that newsroom the home is all clear of potential victims. An investigator was on the way to determine the cause.

That is the whole of what has been released. The report carries no address beyond the street, no dispatch time, no count of units working the fire, no damage estimate and no injury information for occupants or for crews. Clear of potential victims is a statement about a search of the structure, and it is carried here as exactly that rather than stretched into a claim that nobody was hurt.

No cause has been stated by anyone. An investigator responding to a residential fire is ordinary practice in this district and says nothing about how this one started.

This site sought the district's own posting rather than resting on a single newsroom. Two attempts to reach the district's website failed at the connection stage, returning no response at all, so no primary document sits behind this item and that gap is stated rather than papered over. The account is one Fort Myers newsroom quoting the fire district. WINK News did not carry the fire when its front page was read shortly after 7.15 p.m., and the NBC-2 page carrying the same headline is the same newsroom under its other brand rather than a second source.

Nothing about this fire appears on the Florida Highway Patrol dispatch board, which was read at the same time and holds one Lee County entry, unrelated. That board covers state roads and would never list a Lehigh Acres residential street. Anyone driving near Fifth Avenue this evening should expect apparatus and hose lines regardless.
