Florida Firefighters Extinguish Mitsubishi Plant Fire

May 03--An early morning blaze at an Orlando Mitsubishi plant has been extinguished, according to Orange County Fire Rescue.

About 30 employees were at the 100,000 square foot manufacturing plant when firefighters arrived at 2287 Premier Row.

Officials are still on scene and investigating the cause of the "heavy fire and smoke," Fire Rescue spokesman John Mulhall said.

Elsewhere in Orlando, a mobile home was in flames around 2:30 a.m. at 11th Avenue. The fire was put out and the homeowner was taken to the hospital for smoke inhalation, Mulhall said.
