TFD officials told ABC 27 that there are about five firetrucks on the scene battling the fire that is near the 2500 block of Cold Harbor Drive.
The fire began around 11:45 a.m. as a smaller brush fire, then as conditions changed with wind and other factors, it spread to a larger size, TFD added.
The fire department also added that at this time there are no plans for evacuations or any danger to this public, but that things could change with fire conditions evolving.
Brush fires can spread dangerously fast given the dry weather currently being seen in the area.
