A brushfire continues to burn in the north/northwestern area of Flagler County, near Old Brick Road, according to officials.

The fire began Saturday, March 26, and has consumed about 350 acres as of Tuesday morning. Officials said the fire is partially contained at this time.

The fire is not a threat to populated areas, according to www.flagleremergency.com. But, drift smoke may be noted from time to time pending wind direction and atmospheric conditions.

The fire is about 11 miles north/northwest of Bunnell, or about four miles due west of the northern part of Palm Coast. Much of the fire is swampland, and it’s also smoldering underground in places. Division of Forestry crews are on scene and currently working the fire and may conduct several back burns as needed.

Flagler County Fire Rescue crews and FireFlight are also available if needed.
