Crews are on scene at a massive fire in Kissimmee. The blaze is located at a plant nursery off of Poinciana Boulevard and was first reported at 2 a.m. The name of the company is Nursery Supplies Inc. Two acres worth of pellets holding plastic planters are burning and crews are using 4,500 gallons of water per minute to douse the flames. Crews also say there were propane tanks not too far from the area. HAZMAT crews from Osceola County, and Orange County are monitoring the air to determine if this smoke is any danger 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 said. "If there is an evacuation, it would be due to the smoke and carbon monoxide off the fire."
