(Feb. 21, 5:13 p.m.) A brush fire has been spotted on the Iris Drive access road next to Interstate 20 near the Parker Road overpass.
Firefighters on site said the brush fire seemed similar to the fires that closed off I-20 last Thursday and could have been started by any spark or hot item, such as cigarette butts.
