A bush fire broke out along Utility Drive on Tuesday, sending thick plumes of smoke into the air and drawing concern from nearby residents and motorists.
Videos circulating on social media showed flames spreading through dry vegetation near overhead utility lines as bystanders watched from the roadside.
The extent of the fire and whether any homes or infrastructure were threatened was not immediately clear up to news time.
Emergency personnel were expected to respond as the blaze continued burning through the area. Dry conditions and strong winds have contributed to several grass and bush fires across Antigua in recent weeks.
Motorists and residents in the area are being urged to exercise caution.
