Four fire units were sent to a reported brush fire on Front Beach Road near 12th Street in Panama City Beach just after 3 PM Thursday. A caller reported smoke in the bushes and possibly a pier or structure next to a home involved; crews were still arriving on the initial dispatch, so the extent is not yet known.

It is the second brush-fire call in the county within about 90 minutes – conditions are warm and breezy this afternoon.
