According to the Orlando Sentinel, a five-acre brush fire is burning "off International Drive near the Orange-Osceola county border," near the Marriott World Center. Officials have received reports of heavy smoke, some from Disney World theme parks, but claim no buildings near the fire are in danger. Fire and rescue personnel suggest drivers and those with respiratory conditions should act with caution. WFTV.com says "traffic has been stopped on I-4 eastbound at SR 536" and has been rerouted to U.S. 192. This story will be updated when more details are made public.
