Firefighters responded to a massive warehouse fire in Kissimmee, Florida, Thursday, that burned five acres of plastic planters.
The fire was reported around 2AM at Nursery Supplies Inc. southwest of Orlando.
“Two acres worth of [pallets] holding plastic planters are burning and crews are using 4,500 gallons of water per minute to douse the flames,” according to WESH, with crews adding that propane tanks were also located nearby.
As HAZMAT crews assessed the situation, officials said they weren’t seeing signs of immediate danger for the surrounding community.
“We’ve got remote monitoring set up and we’re not yet getting any signal that would cause us to call for an evacuation, but that could change,” said Osceola Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Jon Haskett. “If there is an evacuation, it would be due to the smoke and carbon monoxide off the fire.”
Haskett said they’re not yet sure what caused the blaze.
Photos and video circulating on social media showed the devastating extent of the fire.
