Firefighters were able to quickly bring a residential fire under control on the Westside on Saturday night.
The Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department responded to the shed fire in the 1800 block of Niblick Drive. Initially, firefighters thought there was someone inside the shed, but they didn't find anyone.
Right now we’re on the corner of Hyde Grove & Niblick, just down the way from where a fire has happened.

A neighbor nearby said the flames coming from the home were huge and she feared that the trees would catch fire.

I just spoke to a neighbor who lives nearby, not even a block over. She tells me the flames were huge earlier and she feared the trees you see here would catch on fire. @ActionNewsJax pic.twitter.com/PbYCzEF5Sq
