Edit
just found out from DAKL security it is only routine maint done overnite. No cause for concern he says. Firetrucks could be responding to alarm, but no word of any emergency reported.

What was the issue at first?

I think there is a controlled burn going on somewhere near WDW.

Yeah - 429 has controlled burns non-stop with the expansion of Horizons West.

Out world drive past 192 was being burned Wednesday. Was enough smoke to impact I-4

I didn't realize the higher ups were in town...

They have to use all that parking fee revenue somehow...

Hopefully, that is not Disney property. They would seem pretty hypocritical if they were intentionally creating pollution after all the hype about how responsible they are when it comes to the planet. Can't do much about outside sources, but, they surely do not have to be doing it themselves. I guess it's hard to burn a swamp, but, once you get it started it may be something that cannot be put out, like the coal mines in Pennsylvania.

They’re burning land to build new neighborhoods in Winter Garden, which aren’t Disney. That’s what Horizon West is.

You should see Kansas in the spring. The ranchers out west burn thousands of acres of grassland to rejuvenate the flint hills for grazing. Nature used to do it naturally but now it’s managed by man. We got smoke a hundred miles to the east in KC a few weeks ago so bad it looked like LA in the summer. Maybe Florida is the same???

It seems like at least 100 years ago it was determined that burning off fields was one of the causes of the dust bowl not to mention the lack of enriching the soil. Do we never learn anything. Plow it under it becomes mulch (i.e. fertilizer)

I'm sure it is happening in Florida as well. Business knows it is cheaper to burn it off then to do the right thing. I'm almost glad to be old so I won't be around to see the earth destroyed by human ignorance and entitlement. I do worry about my grandchildren though.

Lot of misinformation in this one

OK, so enlighten me! I hate people that make statements and don't back them up with either fact or opinion. Are you saying that they don't burn off stuff that pollutes the atmosphere or that they are right to do it. Or are you saying, something that is already explained that it isn't Disney. I accept that it isn't Disney, so all I can say is what are you debating?

not sure what disney is doing. But controlled burning is healthy, natural and necessary. Forests used to burn all the time from lightning and refreshed the forests. Some trees dont even release seeds until temps only seen with fire. The issue we have with fires today is our property gets in the way. There is no pollution minus tires or other things that might get in the way.

Just a reminder, Disney isn’t doing the burning. It’s residential land NEAR Disney.
