This brush fire comes during a burn ban for the county. Chesterfield implemented the ban because of the lack of rain in recent weeks.
Currently there is a moderate risk of forest fires in Virginia according to the Virginia Department of Forestry.
Elmore said conditions are extremely dry out and any use of open flame can turn into something dangerous.
Crews are still working to determine the cause of the fire.
