At a press conference Thursday, Deputy Chief Jon Haskett with Osceola County Fire said about 75 firefighters from Orange County, Osceola County, and Kissimmee are working to put the fire out. The operation is expected to last several hours. 

Haskett said fire crews are using water and foam to get the fire under control. He added that there was likely a propane tank explosion inside the area, but all other tanks have been secured.

Fire officials said they are monitoring the air quality because of the large plumes of smoke containing hazardous chemicals from the burning plastic. Chief Haskett recommended that individuals with breathing issues in the area remain inside for now. 

The nursery supplies plant is about 13 miles from Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida.
