VIDEO: Orange County leaders are questioning safety issues surrounding a deadly warehouse fire that ignited fireworks stored at the property. The fire – which happened on Dec. 1 – could come up on Tuesday at the county commission meeting. There are legal questions over whether the company was even allowed to store fireworks there. A county commissioner is saying officials didn’t even know fireworks were inside the building. The warehouse where this happened is located on Central Florida Parkway in Taft. District 3 commissioner Mayra Uribe's office says she's working closely with a team made up of staff from planning and zoning and the State Fire Marshals Office to find out why no one was aware that Magic in the Sky – which provides professional special effects fireworks – was storing fireworks inside.
