Firefighters say the fire burned a small 10 by 10 shed. They believe the cause of the fire was from the improper disposal of hot charcoal from a barbeque grill.
No injuries were reported.
The second fire happened in Sebring.

Firefighters believe bullets at a shooting range nearby sparked the brush fire. The fire only spread about half an acre.
