SOUTH ORANGE COUNTY --

A Florida Division of Forestry burn has gotten out of control and closed Interstate 4 in South Orange County, according to the Florida Highway Patrol.

The road is closed from U.S 192 to State Road 535.

The 15-acre fire is burning near International and World Center drives, but is creeping toward Interstate 4.

Viewers have reported heavy smoke at nearby Disney theme parks.

The fire is not threatening anything at this time. A cell phone tower was threatened, but was protected.

Drivers should use extreme caution in the area as there is smoke in the area.

The Orlando-Orange County Expressway Authority are suspending tolls on northbound S.R. 417 and eastbound S.R. 528 (Beachline).
