For anyone in Central Florida, there is a huge fire less than a mile from Disney. No one knows the cause, but it is a big one.

Bot this picture about an hour ago when I was dropping my sister off at the airport. It was about 5 Acres then.

Quote:

This one was about 15 minutes ago, from the news they say it's gotten about 15 acres now and looks to have two bodies now. I'm going to head to the Disney area soon to get some closer shots.

Anyone else live in the area?

Keep us posted and be careful.

Eggman · (05-25-2012, 08:00 PM)

The clouds are saying something

lethial · (05-25-2012, 08:00 PM)

I'm no expert on fire but yes, that looks like smoke from a fire.

Escape Goat · (05-25-2012, 08:01 PM)

Its the birth of a cloud.

Gartooth · (05-25-2012, 08:01 PM)

As others have said, be careful and use caution if you decide to get closer.

Go grab some marshmallows

I was going to laugh at a measly 15 acre fire being a big deal, but if there are bodies, that changes things.

So here is the local news stations report: http://www.wftv.com/news/news/brush-...ve-area/nPD9W/

They've shut down the main highway, but luckily I have many ways to get into Disney. This should be interesting.

Brush fire? Why would someone make a bonfire out of scrubbing apparatuses...

Yeah me and my mom were on our way to Universal when we ran into this. Got off the highway OK but retreated west to our hotel. I wanted to fucking ride Harry Potter and Spiderman. Two best rides in the world.

Black-Box · (05-25-2012, 08:11 PM)

why don't people ever put cameras into toy planes that can fly.

also awesome first picture, it looks like the smoke is turning into a cloud

They might not be available for riding at the moment, as they're rather popular. You might be able to ride Hagrid and the Hobgoblin if you ask nicely, though.

Why do you want to go see it? Let the emergency crews take care of it and stay out of their way.

SmithnCo · (05-25-2012, 08:15 PM)

I live out there but am not in the area right now. Weird stuff. Be careful if you're going closer.

Get there in the morning. They close off the Harry Potter section once it hits capacity.

You must be quite popular if you get to ride Harry and Spider Man all day. Although, I bet Jenny and Mary Jane might not be too happy. Don't be a homewrecker, bro!

This. You'll be clogging up places for people trying to leave or people who actually NEED to get there.

Nope, that is a garage. I live in a Coach house a few houses down the alley.

scottzorus · (05-25-2012, 08:46 PM)

That explains the smoke I saw over in that direction.

WoodenLung · (05-25-2012, 08:46 PM)

Close to Disney? Really hope Selena Gomez is ok.

Is that David Blunkett in your avatar?

5amshift · (05-25-2012, 09:27 PM)

I'm here at the Pop Century swimming and we saw the smoke. We saw it go away and it started up again. The wind was blowing our way so we all smelt it.
