(CNN) -- A 50-acre brush fire burned Wednesday about three miles from a launch pad at the Kennedy Space Center, but the fire posed no danger to the countdown for Friday's launch of the space shuttle Endeavour, NASA said.
The fire was being fought by the fire department of the Merritt Island National Refuge on space center property, said Dorn Whitmore, a spokesman for the fire information office.
Tuesday's lightning storms possibly sparked the blaze,
