The fire broke out at the Central Transfer Station in Seminole County at roughly 8 a.m.
The flames were caused by improper disposal of lithium batteries, setting a trailer on fire at the station. The Seminole County Fire Department was acting and quickly contained the situation without any reported injuries.
