The Polk County Fire Department responded to the fire off Marlin Road, which runs off Mediterranean in a new subdivision without homes off Lake Marion Creek Road, after receiving a call from a resident at about 9 a.m.

After putting the brush fire out, firefighters found the body and called the Polk County Sheriff's Office.

A preliminary investigation showed that the body was an unidentified female whose age and race cannot be determined, officials said.

An autopsy will be performed to determine how the victim died.
