A call came in around 2 a.m. regarding a fire blazing behind Nursery Supplies, Inc. at 2050 Ave. A, according to Osceola Fire officials. Authorities say the fire started in roughly 2 acres of plastic planters before spreading.
The nursery itself is not on fire, but it was evacuated due to the presence of personnel inside.
