The state fire marshal is investigating a massive fire that destroyed a furniture store in Kissimmee, Fla., Tuesday night.
Firefighters responded to reports of flames at the Furniture Landing store located in the 2700 block of Orange Blossom Trial in Kissimmee at about 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.


Firefighters entered the building and tried to extinguish the fire but were forced to retreat when the roof showed signs of collapsing.

“(The flames) were just shooting up,” witness Michael Hill said. “With the kids, they were like, ‘Oh my Gosh.’ They didn’t know what was going on.”

The owner, David Fletcher, told Local 6 News he was watching July Fourth fireworks when he received the call that the building was on fire.

Customers who had purchased furniture inside the building are asked to return to the store site for information.

An investigation into the cause of the fire continues.
