Firefighters continue to monitor a brush fire in Palm Beach Gardens.
The nearly 500 acre blaze started burning on Monday afternoon near the Avenir development at Northlake Boulevard and the Beeline Highway.
No homes were threatened.
Palm Beach Gardens Deputy Fire Chief James Ippolito says the fire is believed to have started when some heavy machinery that was clearing some of the brush in the area caught on fire.
By Monday night, the fire was 75 percent contained, and crews stayed on the scene all night.
Smoke may still be visible in the area.
