Brush fire trucks were on standby. Crews from Estero were coming down the road.

Greater Naples Fire Rescue issued a voluntary evacuation Monday afternoon, which has since been rescinded. Robert Oleski, a resident, said he wanted to see the fire for himself before making a decision.

"Well, after the voluntary evacuation, I decided before I make a decision, I wanna actually try to get some eyes on it," Oleski said.

He said it rained profusely for about 30 minutes while he was on his way back to his house. Firefighters from Estero told him the rain appeared to have extinguished most of the fire.

The fire had caused Inez Rd. south to Markley Rd., and west to Smith Rd., to temporarily close on Monday. As of Tuesday, the roads have reopened.
