Firefighters battle massive fire at a nursery in Kissimmee

Multiple fire crews are on the scene of a massive fire in Kissimmee.

The fire started at Nursery Supplies Inc. on Poinciana Boulevard around 2 a.m.

WESH reports that two acres of pallets holding plastic planters are burning, and there are propane tanks nearby.

On scene are HAZMAT crews, who are monitoring the air quality to determine if the smoke is dangerous to residents.

 “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,” Osceola Fire Rescue Deputy Chief Jon Haskett told WESH. “If there is an evacuation, it would be due to the smoke and carbon monoxide off the fire.”

It will take a few more hours to get the fire under control, fire officials said.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time. No injuries have been reported.
