Orange County Firefighters Tackle Intense 3,000-Sq-Ft Warehouse Fire on South Orange AvenueSource: Google Street View

Orange County firefighters faced a challenging scene as they battled a significant warehouse fire at 9202 South Orange Avenue. The inferno, which engulfed a 3,000-square-foot space, raised exposure concerns for the surrounding residential neighborhood. WFTV reported the blaze, which Orange County Fire Rescue confirmed as being "fully involved."

According to details from WESH, the fire began shortly before 7 p.m. last night, monitoring for possible re-ignition at the site. The warehouse, leased to a furniture restoration business, had personnel present until around 5:30 p.m. before the fire broke out. Inside, three propane tanks exploded, further intensifying the emergency, though the warehouse owner believes they were not the source of the fire.

After the fire, nearby buildings were also affected. Firefighters confirmed that the building next door had roof damage, showing the fire spread beyond the original site. The cause of the fire is still under investigation, and officials are assessing the damage while working to prevent any more incidents.
