If you are in Indian River County and see smoke, it's likely coming from a mulch fire.

Piles of mulch in the southwest corner of the landfill off of 74th Avenue SW caught fire and are producing massive amounts of smoke.

The fire is contained but it could take days before it is extinguished, according to Indian River County Fire Rescue.

The landfill is near I-95 but the wind has been blowing smoke away from the interstate.

The fire is not jeopardizing any homes or structures.
