At 2:15pm Wednesday, the Shoreline Fire Department responded to a beach fire at the Richmond Beach Saltwater Park.

Several fire trucks and emergency vehicles were dispatched to put out the fire and prevent it from jumping the railroad tracks and spreading to the very dry hillside.

The beach fire was put out and did not spread into the park which would have presented a dangerous situation.
