Traffic: I-4 west back open after fire near Central Florida Parkway

All lanes of Interstate 4 west near Central Florida Parkway were reopened by 7 a.m. after a vehicle fire slowed traffic.

Orange County Fire Rescue crews were called just after 6 a.m. to reports of a truck fire on the interstate, records show.

Emergency crews shut down the entrance ramp and were blocking at least two right lanes, creating more than a mile-long backup.

Traffic cameras also showed backups building in the eastbound lanes through that area, which is near SeaWorld.
