(KISSIMMEE, FLA) -- A massive five acre fire sent a nursery ablaze, burning hundreds of plastic pots Thursday morning in Kissimmee, Florida. 75 firefighters res
More than 70 firefighters responded to a massive fire at a nursery in Kissimmee, Florida, on Thursday morning where nearly five acres of plastic planters caught fire, sending plumes of smoke into the air.
The fire broke out about 2 a.m. at Nursery Supplies Inc. in Kissimmee, which is just south of Orlando in central Florida, authorities told news outlets.
It took firefighters more than 12 hours to contain the roaring fire, using foam and water.
Jon Haskett of the Fire Department in Osceola County, Fla., offered an apparently unintended pun, saying hundreds of pallets holding plastic pots for plants were "the root of the issue" when a big fire broke out at a nursery supply company.
