Original report: Firefighters in Seminole County are battling a large brush fire, according to authorities.

The 165-plus acre fire is located in the Live Oak Reserve area, just off County Road 419, near Chuluota.  

It was first reported just before 4 p.m.  

Fire officials said 100 people were evacuated from a nearby Girl Scout camp in Chuluota as a result. Also homes on Woodhurst Court in the Live Oak Reserve subdivision were evacuated.

"This couldn't have come at a worse time," Joy Macaione said as she packed after mandatory evacuations were made for several neighborhoods in Oviedo due to the brush fire Saturday night.

Dozens of families were impacted by the mandatory evacuations. 

“It went from a beautiful morning to complete chaos and havoc and I had the fire department and two police officers saying get your stuff and get out," Joy said. 

Joy said their home was the least of their worries, as they had to quickly transport their horses and other animals to a safe location. 

"The tangible things are replaceable, the house is replaceable. The things I can't replace are my horses and my animals," Joy said. 

The fire also claimed three campsites at Camp Mah-Kah-Wee and 11 buildings, according to officials.

A total of 44 homes were either under mandatory or voluntary evacuation.

"The house is over there and you can't really do much, but the question is, is the fire going to come back here and burn the house down or are we going to be okay? There is just a knot in your stomach," said evacuee Brock Beckman. 

Multiple agencies at the scene of the fire, including Oviedo Fire Rescue, Seminole County Fire, Florida Fire Service and the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office.

According to FFS, 45 percent of the fire is contained.

The Chuluota Veterans of Foreign Wars Post has been set up as an evacuation shelter.

Some roads in the Sterling Creek and Live Oaks Reserve area are closed.  Officials are urging people to use caution when driving because of smoky conditions.

The cause of the fire is under investigation.
